Heidi opened her first bank accounts today, although she showed little interest in the event. It did take an age in Halifax but we got there in the end. Armed with a money sorter and a calculator (which I commandeer) we head of for some lunch. She gets a few people peering in at her as we speed along.
After lunch we go to pick up the changing unit ordered from Mothercare. We used the money kindly given by my colleagues. I get the chance move about in the papoose with Heidi up front. Her face is a little squashed but she seems happy. It is really comfortable too. Rachel borrowed Becky’s last time and got on with it well so I bought one for her. R cannot wear it for another month plus though.
Rachel had seen the changing unit a while ago, and hopefully it will be better than our old way. With Fred, it was done on the bathroom floor, all changing and cleaning etc but this is at worktop level, with a bath underneath. Again, hopefully no kneeling by the bath trying to stand up holding a wriggling eel of a child.
It comes out of the back of the store looking rather bigger than I had imagined but maybe it is just packaging. Ten minutes of trying to get it into the front seat was a chuckle and soon we were heading home.
Today must be a day of expense as I bought a DVD/VCR combo to tidy things up under the television. Sky is banished from our house so this is the next best thing, along with Freeview. At least now I can dub my old videos on to DVD and make some more room plus be able to watch programmes I have recorded on the DVD on my laptop, whilst in the bath – bliss.
I assemble the unit and get to the final piece, the swinging changing mat. All has gone well and no bits are left over and none more are required. I now realise that one of the legs is facing the wrong way which would not be a problem until you realise that it has a critical screw hole in it for the swinging changing mat. It will need to be dismantled.
Heidi watches on in Rachel’s arms as I swear profusely once again. She won’t understand for a bit yet I reckon. By now it is hot in the bathroom where I am assembling the unit and so I am starting to sweat again.
Soon it is all complete and is much larger than I thought it would be. It’s vast. Anyway, it’s good so Rachel practices by pushing Heidi about in it, from the bathroom to Heidi’s room, to ours. It will solve loads of problems and save our backs and knees I’m sure.
The slow cooker is downstairs bubbling away nicely and so we sit down with a contented Heidi to watch the television. Hopefully tonight she will be a little more organised in her sleep patterns.
