Yes, it has been a while. You might have thought that once Nora reached one there’s not much to post about… but that is just not true! Everyday, there’s a story. She’s full of character!

The problem is me. Since September, I’ve turned part time working four days a week. When I’m at work, I feel that I have to cram five days’ worth of work into four. When I’m off on Friday, I try to do as many activities with Nora as possible and on the weekend I do as much house chores as I can.

When I do have free time, I’m too tired and all I want to do is be a zombie.

Today was supposed to be my department’s Christmas party… but I was told to go home as I am too ill. I rested… and Jules picked Nora up from the nursery at around 16:30.

The first thing I heard from her was ‘MAMA!! MAMA!!’

Now, Jules didn’t tell her I was home and I tried to stay as quiet as I could (in between coughs). But once she had her shoes and coat off she walked into my bedroom and saw me on the bed! She must have smelt me!!

Anyway… the story from nursery today:

Nora stole a packet of biscuits, opened it up… and distributed it to the babies. She loves her snacks… but it’s nice that she is learning to share too.

So, today she’s a little Robin Hood
