Nora did not want to sleep on her own last night. Nora wanted to sleep with Mama. Nora wanted to play and tug Mama’s hair in her sleep as this calms her down. Nora wanted to move all around the bed to find the most comfortable position even if it mean lying horizontally on Mama’s tummy.

Hence I only had less than three hours sleep last night.

I got so frustrated with her fidgeting, I actually got angry with her and told her firmly to sleep! To which she started sobbing… which made me think ‘oh dear… now she thinks I hate her’

She stopped fidgeting around 4:30am and my alarm went off at 5:30am.

Left her to sleep on the bed and went to the kitchen to do some chores before getting ready to work.

Around 6:20am, whilst sitting down sipping my coffee and watching BBC Breakfast, I heart the pitter patter of tiny feet.

Little Nora was looking for her Mama and she gave me the biggest good morning hug!

She doesn’t think that I hate her after all
