Day 18 Quebec

Day 18 Quebec

Woke early when Lachie started wriggling. At 5:45 he was up and eating his breakfast number 1. When Heather got up, he helped her eat her breakfast and did the same with John’s. By the time I was eating he’d had enough. Then Lachie helped his grandad fix the chair.

We all set about decorating the unit for the return of Sarah, Tim and Amelia. I went down the street while Heather settled Lachie for his morning sleep. More shops with Christmas decorations, by the time I returned Lachie was asleep and Heather and John had finished packing for their trip to Montreal by train. Heather made a cake while waiting for Tim to return and Lachie woke up.

When the happy family returned, Heather and John had a few cuddles before going to the station with Tim. While he was gone Amelia did a massive poo. Sarah was cleaning her up, she was screaming, Lachie was running up and down with his truck, when there was a knock at the door. I answered it still carrying the offending nappy in a bag, to find a delivery man, with limited English, carrying a large basket of fruit from Tim’s work. I think after hearing the chaos inside, he might have hoped to just dump it and run, but he was charming. Lachie was most impressed by the basket, not by the fruit but by the cookies/ biscuits.

When Tim returned, we had lunch, did a load of washing and just relaxed. Sarah was waking Amelia up every three hours to help her milk supply. I answered a few emails. Tim and Lachie went over to the park to play at 3:30, where Lachie ran and ran. He became so hot he took off his jacket and then his pants.

While I prepared dinner Tim played with Lachie and Sarah fed Amelia. Lachie had an early bath. Amelia went down for a sleep and then we had dinner. Lachie went down relatively quickly and we settled down to the evening.
