certificate of merit

Monday morning left Daddy amazed. Normally this is the worst time of the week for Daddy as Maisie has spent to whole weekend getting any attention that she requests and having no particular routine to talk of. Maisie's weekends consist of  lots of cuddles whenever she asks for them.

Come Monday mornings poor Maisie doesn't get that sort of attention as it's just Daddy, and she doesn't like  it and usually leads Daddy a merry dance.
Why was Daddy so amazed this particular Monday?

Maisie slept for a whole 40 minutes - Amazing

Mummy is continuing to try to wean Maisie but she's not having any of it;

"this rice needs more soya sauce Mummy!"

.........so it was decided that Maisie should try and sit with the family at the table (instead of in her rocking chair on the floor) at dinner time to let her see how others eat. She was told to watch Zach to see how not to do it and to concentrate on Meghan to see how it's done properly.

"Wow that's one big plate"

"Where's the food then Daddy?" 

Unfortunately Maisie can't actually sit in her chair without hanging on for dear life so ended back on the floor with Megan who was waiting for any crumbs that may drop from the table. 

Maisie is getting stronger and stronger and will hopefully be in her proper high chair that she got for Christmas from Grandpa and Grandma Jan within the next few weeks. This will make it a lot easier to feed Maisie and for her to play with her food. 

Maisie was out and about on Tuesday and went back to the hospital as she'd agreed to help with exams for doctors in training. It was really interesting and Maisie got examined several times by some lovely doctors. All children's doctors have to take special exams to make sure that they are kind enough and know enough to look after children. Maisie was chosen as she has an "interesting condition." 

"but Daddy,  why do I need this sticker
I thought that everybody knows who I am?" 

Maisie was a really good girl enjoying yet more attention. and left the hospital with a certificate and a wee reward to go into her piggy bank. Daddy didn't think was very fair as he'd done most of the work. 

It was a busy day, hopefully Maisie should sleep well tonight.
