Holidays started early for us when Bubba got the tummy bug that had been going around, so she missed her last two days of preschool. I was devastated.
The following week had started well, we visited nanny and garg and went to the shops. I was then faced with a void on Tuesday and decided to take the kids to the library and sign up Bubba with her own library card.
As I was parking, after manhandling the kids into the car in the first place, cub promptly threw up the whole of his last bottle. All over himself, it was like a tidal wave. Had he got the bug or just an unfortunate coincidence.
So it was straight home for us after I shouted at Bubba because she was making such a racket in the back, moaning because she wanted to go to the library.
The day spiralled out of control with an unhappy toddler, me watching cub like a hawk and it was all a bit too on edge. Certainly not how I envisaged the summer holidays!
We had a stand off in the kitchen and she had to be carried in from the garden at bath time because she refused to move. Hubby saved the day as I sat hyperventilating and wondering where I went wrong.
I'm happy to report that the next day went much better, I was nervous to start the day and wondered if Bubba would be scared for life because I shouted (I know). She had forgotten all about it because as a toddler, she lives in the moment which is something I'm going to try and do from now on.
