lonely

Our youngest and I are adapting to life with only half the family. We had a busy weekend with some challenging behaviour and drawn out bedtime as well as sleeping badly. Tonight bedtime went better thanks to the arrival of a new friend. We got a parcel from a fairy godmother, which included a new doll who has done everything with us, from lunch to watching swimming and brushing teeth and is now snuggled up in bed. The parcel was posted in March, apparently it arrived in June but we never had a receipt so it wasn’t collected, but the arrival today was perfect!
