I think the sound track to this video is brilliant, there is nothing better than to here your child giggle with delight because your playing a game with her and she loves it. It makes me happy!

Mom I'm teething I need more Nurofen, this is empty?

Jamie woke today as always being mommy from the moment her eyes open, Reagan is her life followed by me a very close second…very close! I went to work and it was a normal day until she IM’d me to say she was upstairs with knickers adrift bent double and needs me immediately…

Awoot Awoot! I thought, but then read the rest of the message which said “my backs gone I am in so much pain please help!”

I rang our nieghbour Cath to ask if she could go around and find out what the problem was and how bad it was and she was an absolute diamand carry Reagan downstairs and helping Jamie to the sofa where she could ease her excruciating back pain a little while we sorted out what we were to do.

Right now I am sat with her SNORING on the sofa next to me just about comfortable after having to send Reagan to Nannies because she had no chance of looking after her being almost totally incompasitated in pain and although she wanted to do stuff around the house she was left surrounded by the things you need like food water phones laptop etc unable to move.

She is easily the strongest person I know and keeps proving that fact to me! I love her dearly and I have just helped her to bed hoping she’s better in the morning because she doesn’t deserve anything like this!

I hate doubting myself but sometimes unconsciously doubts creep in and I can’t shake them off…and then it becomes conscious and it gets worse because things snowball in me head and it’s very difficult to see positives?

I’m talking about being Reagan’s dad.

Over the last couple of days it’s been difficult to enjoy being her dad because I didn’t do anything right and felt annoyed when she didn’t respond to the little time I have with her between getting home from work and kissing her goodnight and leaving her bedroom. This time should be my quality time with my daughter but when everything I try ends in screaming and crying even though I would do anything to make her happy…

Is it my fault? is all I can think when she is like this yet I know when I get home at 18:00 Reagan is tired and hungry and although she wants to be with me (probably) she wants food and sleep more!

I got home on Tuesday night and she was sooo much fun and so easy it re-instilled my faith in what I am doing is actually right and I am good enough but….?

With mommy getting some well earned extra rest Reagan and me got up and went downstairs to have some breakfast. It was 07:30 so we knew we only had 30 minutes until “the big event” so I gave Reagan some apple juice and made a pot of coffee letting that filter while I gave her Weetabix with banana cherry yogurt and a bit of milk. With perfect timing we were finished by 07:58 and sat on the sofa ready for…

TIMMY TIME

This morning a classic episode from series 1 where Timmy played ball, for Reagan it was the best 10 minutes telly ever this Sunday morning! She dances to the theme by waving her arms in the air and shaking her head from side ti side then sits and watches the episode quietly occasionally reacting to whats on with an “ooo?” but other than that never takes her eyes of the screen until the end theme starts and she comes to life again…..?

Just looking on Amazon for DVD’s because she loves it and will sit like that whenever its on, we may need Timmy on tap in the near future to give mommy (and Daddy) 10 minutes with number 2!

We decided to ask Nannie to babysit Reagan last night and go out as a couple for the evening to eat pizza and watch a movie. We drove to Crewe and had a pizza in pizza hut and generally chatted and enjoyed each others company without having to worry about our little “bundle of joy” We had time to take our time and took advantage of the endless salad offer before tucking into a rather large pepperoni mushroom chilli’s and garlic stuffed crust pizza numnumnumnum washed down with a couple of drinks!

Then we wandered over to the theatre to watch Horrible Bosses cuddled up in a corner just enjoying being together. The film was hilarious and made the night even better, to be belly laughing during the movie just made us feel even better than were anyway.

Love you dude thanks for a great evening!!!
