Granny Jill lends a hand

We've had Granny Jill to stay for a couple of nights. She hasn't seen E and A since they were about six weeks old, so it was great for her to come and visit and she was amazed at how much they've changed in a month. I've loved having someone around during the day, both to keep me company and hold a baby when they're both crying.

We've had a busy day today. First thing this morning we went out with the pushchair to the shops to pick up some essentials. Then after the 10.30am feed, we go ourselves bundled up and headed over to Crystal Palace Park to see the dinosaurs. It was a beautiful morning, and the park looked lovely - I hadn't been there for years (used to go lots as a child), and both Granny Jill and I were really impressed.

We got back home in time for the 2pm feed, and as the babies were a bit grizzly after eating, we thought we'd prefer to go out than stay in and listen to them grumble! We took the single buggy and a sling over to East Dulwich and indulged in a bit of retail therapy. Young Daddy was having a terrible day at work, so we got him some floral gums as a bring-back from Hope & Greenwood. I personally can't stand them, and think even the smell is horrid so I'll be steering well clear of him this evening!
