We took Sophie to the place of her parent’s roots during the weekend (that’s up-bringing obviously, get your mind out of the gutter!)
We were a little concerned that the trip to New Plymouth would be tough on her during the drive, so we decided to leave around her normal bed time on Friday night (6pm)…along with half of Auckland leaving for the long weekend! So after an hour + on the motorway, Sophie finally drifted off to sleep and stayed that way for the next 4 hours!

We certainly miss this. The veiw taken from mums place.
We stayed at mums for the 3 days which was great and Sophie got to spend lots of time with Nana, Grantz and both Aunties. She slept better in her porta-cot than she does back here!
The weather was superb and New Plymouth was great, Ingrid and I both wondered why we left the place in the first place.
Sophie traveled even better on the way back last night, falling asleep within 10 minutes of leaving and only woke when we were 5 minutes from home – quick cuddle and change of nappy and she went down for the rest of the night…you little beauty! At least now, we know she can handle it so we’re hoping to get down a couple more times this year.

Sophie and Grantz...and a couple of tigersI took an extra day off today so we could look at a couple more Day-Care places and I finally got round to shaving my holiday beard off (a mate saw me in New Plymouth in the weekend and thought maybe I’d hooked up with the 'Al Kieda'!, so yes, it was time to go), but when I went to pick up Sophie from her afternoon nap, the poor thing was scared shiltess and looked utterly confused. She wasn’t totally convinced I was her real daddy until I started singing to her!
