So my partner's daughter came round to sleep over last night. Usually we have her every other weekend, but with all the extra kayaking seminars right now, we've been short on quality visit time...
it was lovely. She's really generous and gentle with little Baby Buddha, and she loves to pick her up when she cries. It's like having a full-time babysitter. So we did our nails and did 'girly' things as she likes to call it. (Never mind that I hate girly things and the stereotype that accompanies them with a passion. Not a murmer of this... only smiling acquiescence. She's just too damn pleasant and accomodating for me to dream of popping the balloon.) And the two girls fell asleep up in her loft bed at the same time, which was just the most simple and beautiful sight I think I've ever seen.
Too bad partner missed it all...
I hope this spate of over-committing and under-seeing ends soon. He's better than this, I know he is.
