Mary Ann had to go to the eye specialist today. That will be the last time since they were very pleased with her. I was around town after the specialist because I wanted to find her a body she can fit with long sleeves. Oh my, people looked at this little baby of mine. Some mentioned that she must be brand new. I felt a little embarrassed. Maybe they think I have taken this little brand new baby directly from post-natal ward to January sales?! Never mind. It was great for me to try going to town with Mary Ann. I even tried to feed her in there. I found a nursing room where I could sit with her. I was lucky, there were no one else in the beginning. That meant that I could have my legs up on another chair so she could rest on my lap. It was a little funny. I have always been concerned if it was quiet enough around her when she eat. In town it was not quiet and she had 100ml?! I’m sure she wanted to test if I could sit in an odd chair for an hour without any rest for my bag or legs. I could! So come again Mary Ann!
In town a lot of people came and told me how awful cute Mary Ann was. But you constantly say that a baby is cute. I have always found that odd. Why is it that you never say something else like that’s a nice baby, a quiet baby, a small baby, a healthy looking baby … It’s the same as people always answer back that they are fine when they are not. But besides that; Mary Ann is the cutest baby ever after my opinion :-)
When I came home Neil had talked with a family about Tiree a couple of times. I also called them. It’s two women and their two kids. The couple is vet/nurse and very glad about dogs. They have three dogs from which one is a cavalier like Tiree. They live in south of Jutland in a forest near the beach. They are given their dogs the kind of life I wish for Tiree. They want to buy her and they will come Friday after her. So we had to call Cecilie to tell her the sad news. She will come tomorrow to say goodbye to Tiree and play with her for the last time.
I was very tired when we came home from town. Mary Ann slept in her own room for the first time. When we came to bed time I felt a sleep right a way but still I could wake up when Mary Ann cried and fall into sleep again right away. Neil was annoyed because he couldn’t sleep or wake up just like that. He mumbled something in English about me being able to hear a mouse fart in my sleep and still being able to fall a sleep again before he even came to his side of the bed.
