January starts

Another call to the paediatricians secretary this morning to chase up the griffiths test we've not heard about. They're supposed to be calling me back when they figure out if it's been booked (lots of eye rolling done by me during the call). 

I applied to the blue badge team just before Christmas and have finally managed to send payment just now after the lady in charge gave me the number for an accountancy firm by mistake. Classic. Fingers crossed we get a decision soon, it would make life so much easier to have a badge. E can't climb into the car or car seat so I need room (and a steel back) to lift her in, she also tries to run off into traffic because she doesn't understand danger - so having a little more space between us and the other cars would be nice!  

We've gotten used to our Maclaren Major Elite now that we've had it for a few months. I miss the invisibility of our regular old pushchair, but she's so much higher and more comfortable looking in the elite. We get stares, very blatant stares - but I'm working hard to ignore those.

I forgot to mention, E had another ENT appointment at John Radcliffe back in November - they determined one of her grommets was on the way out and that she definitely has big tonsils. They want to do a sleep study on her and get a swallow study done with our salt team. 

No news on either of these yet, but I'm silently glad because she simply will not sleep in new places or with people present. The thought of the sleep study fills me with dread! 

Trying for a fun day today after a lovely post Christmas week, before pre school officially starts tomorrow and the fun of her MRI under ga on Wednesday.

Trying to think positive.
