How did that happen, it's almost here already! We're so looking forward to the break though, M is on holiday and we are all feeling a lot like this:
Life has been hectic since we got back from Edinburgh and I haven't had enough time to blog about it. It was so, so lovely to catch up with family and friends and we came back feeling very festive and extremely proud of ourselves that we managed the journey without any problems. O was brilliant, she loved the train, pulled out all the stops to impress the folks, was loads of fun and behaved impeccably the whole time. She didn't sleep much, but you can't have everything! I also came back with very toned arms, almost everyone I know lives in either a massive gorgeous Georgian flat, or a massive gorgeous tenement flat (oh as a Scottish Londoner I felt the pull of the square footage envy) beautiful but either up or down many flights of stairs. Carrying toddler and/or bugaboo up and down them is a much better work out than the gym!
So it was an extremely shattered but happy Lindsay who stepped off the train at Kings Cross. After a week's worth of solo responsibility for the monkey I was ready to let my hair down. Luckily we had our amazing, wonderful, fabulous babysitter booked and M and I hit Bistrotheque with some friends for cocktails, food, wine and more cocktails. Ouch, the next day was not good but my wonderful husband let me sleep and lounge around in my dressing gown, bliss.
Oh, and her most favourite and her best thing of the whole trip: the carousel on Princes St gardens. She could have stayed on that for days.

I LOVE the carousel - Ella does too! You're back and glad you had a nice break, although exhausting by the sounds.
The girls have 3 years difference between them. We were trying for over 12 months with Leila, had a few procedures, and therefore the difference was greater than we'd planned.
Ella's so great with Leila, realy has been amazing from the start, no issues at all, which I'm sure is as much to do with Ella's sweet temprament. I have to say though whilst we'd never trade them, we're both much more shattered with Leila than we were first time round, everything seems more exhausting with two. We're older of course, but with both of us working and life, the home, kinder everything, it's such a busy existence and you just wonder where the hours and days go. Mind you, the love between them, I wouldn't have missed out on that for the world.
