Brendan's sister Cherie, and her bloke Gerard (the one who gave her that bear that appeared in all our Berlin photos of her) came and visited us for the weekend. We had a lovely time, very relaxing.
On one day we went to the Folk Festival. We saw lots of bands, some that we're already fans of, some new ones. Ruth mostly slept in the sling. Out of it, she was mesmerised by the flags up in the air...
... but managed to wrench her attention away enough to have some afternoon tea.
Cherie bought a couple of drums, and Ruth also had a testbeat. You can see she's all rugged up in the jacket Sean and Sandra gave her--- it was a pretty cold day.
Ruth sleeps well, at least at night. She usually wakes once for a midnight snack and a nappy change. She only has about three little sleeps during the day--- maybe two half-hour ones in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon. Lately she has started her night-time sleep at around five o'clock, which is disappointing for Brendan who misses out on his evening cuddles. If this continues I think he will be coming home at lunch time for more playing.
Below you can see Ruth mounting a crocodile attack, on the gift from my Berlin colleagues Oliver and Felix.
Much love,
Julie
