american mothering

I was a total amreekan mother today - IM wented on one day chutti (dont know who's going to cry more when she leaves - me or the baby - she's been there ever since i came back from hospital and she's a wonder...yes, she gets on my nerves sometimes with all her sighing that doctors dont know that much, blah blah and complete refusal to use my modern mothercare gadgetry like the changing mat - leading to several accidents on sofa, bed, etc etc. But she's adorable how she makes me yummy snackies from water and a tea- towel, hee) and the whole threatning baby that i was not goingf to pay attention to her every whimper so she better behave didnt work.

Amelia behaved of course, but her nap didnt last as long as it should have - meaning i didnt get to nap at all.......... and she got trapped in her playgym, becos she lifts her butt and does this whole double leg swing at 90degrees to her torso. Only this time, she swung them into the vertical arc part of the play gym, and got stuck - poor baby.
and now i've finally gotten her to sleep. yay!!!
