Lorna is the last of the group to have her baby shower. Avril had it at her house and put on some nibbles. It's great to see all the kids playing so well with each other but it's a hell of a lot of children when you count it up.
John is in the middle of lambing and brought a baby lamb (less than 24 hours old) to see the kids. Neive and Caitlan were obsessed. The lambs were very nervous and pooped a bit. Jay stood in this poop and everyone soon went back in the house.
Neive and Caitlan however were obsessed with this lamb poop. They stood by the patio doors pointing at it and telling each other that is was in fact lamb poop and jay had stepped in it with his slipper. I left them to it and checked on them 15 minutes later and couldn't believe they were saying the same thing!
It was pretty fantastic to hear there little conversation. We gathered everyone up on the sofa to take some photos. Of course we'll have to do it again with Lorna's new addition. You can see already that Neive is taking her big sister job very seriously and is looking after Beth very well!
At night mummy had a well deserved night out with the girls and left us with our Daddy. Neive, the little angel, went straight to sleep much to daddies surprise. However, Beth, the little monster, decided tonight she would not be taking the bottle anymore (she is breastfed but takes a bottle if I have to go out) and that she would not be settled by anyone but her mummy. So four hours into babysitting she eventually feel asleep due to pure exhaustion. On the up side mummy had a great night out.
