we got back from our 'holiday' yesterday. the weekend at greenbelt was amazing. it was avery different experience with robin but it was fantastic none the less. andy has some refreshing and encouraging thoughts about his relationship with greenbelt which i hope he'll blog about (but otherwise just ask him!).
after greenbelt we stayed with my mum and dad in cheltenham for a week. i found this really relaxing as there were so many extra pairs of hands to help us with robin. robin is still quite colicky and his bum is still sore. we're holding out on the homeopathy and using calendula (great minds think alike, whitney!).
things robin loves:
:: the pat and squat technique!
:: going in the car
:: going in the pushchair
:: rosie thomas
:: his mummy's singing
:: dancing
:: his daddy
:: being held whilst my sister jumps up and down on her bed
:: sleeping in wirly gig
i'm struggling quite a lot with feeling like i can't cope and that i'm failing as a mother. I KNOW THESE ARE NOT TRUE as people keep reminding me but the reality is that i feel them! a good friend kindly mentioned to me that some people may have said that "if there's anything i can do, please let me know" - i can't remember who said that so if you did then please get back in touch. i'm not very good at asking for help because i often don't know what i need but also i don't want to be a burden.
BIG LESSON LEARNT #1: i am not responsible for everything and everyone even though i feel it and act like it. please remind me of this if you notice me slipping into old ways.
