Her New Bed

Today I looked after the toddler for the afternoon while daughter went to visit a school as she is applying to several schools for a part time learning support assistant job. She is having a year out of studying and going to work part time until next September when she will take the PGCE teaching certificate course. Her friend came over with her 2 kids who are 2 and 6 which was nice for the toddler to have other children to play with.

We went dog training and Rhondda was a star - did everything just right. We were learning how to walk through the door first before the dog and she got it second try which was a lot better than most of the dogs there. Funny how she is so disobedient at home but just perfect at the training class - other dog owners there have the same problem too!

When we got home it was total chaos as daughter decided to change the cot into a bed and spring clean the nursery. She has also put the cot sides and a spare safety gate in my bedroom! Unfortunately daughter always dumps stuff she doesn't want either in my bedroom or in our front room which adds to the mess lol. Added to this was the mess her friend's kids made downstairs and I was cleaning up for a good half hour (to include yogurt all over the dining chairs). On a positive note the toddler went straight to sleep in her bed and slept all night under her nice new quilt. Daughter put some bedding on the floor next to the bed so she would have a soft landing if she fell out but she didn't. Sadly I have dust allergy and the dusty cot sides sent me off in a coughing fit with eyes streaming when I went to bed. I am fine as long as the dust is not disturbed but once she started moving things and cleaning it sets me off. Doesn't she look cute?
