270108 - UK

It has been valuable to have Cath here for many reasons. Besides the obvious as nice to see her and have longer talks, her to met Mary Ann and so. It was also very beneficial to gain from her mother know-how from her three boys. It was nice to hear her say that Mary Ann’s cry was normal and because she was either hungry, needed a clean nappy and a new way to lie. She could differentiate the meaning of her cries. I’m always so afraid that Mary Ann should feel unhappy for some reason. In the other hand, why should she? She must feel the stable life we have here with lots of closeness, love and laughter. I know babies cry for these reasons. I just wanted to be sure it was not for something else, she cried. Cath’s view on Mary Ann’s cry helped me a lot.

Today was Cath’s last day here unfortunately. We stayed in apart from for a walk down to the local Inn. We wanted to check the rooms we have booked for Mary Ann’s christening. Cath and Cecilie went on their own upstairs the horrifying staircase. They said the rooms were okay. It’s in walking distance from our house. So that makes it easy when the family comes over. Neil’s parent will stay there the whole week before the christening. Neil’s oldest brother Rob (Cath’s husband) will come two days before. He is going to be Mary Ann’s Godfather.

Cecilie and I took Cath to the airport. We had a good chat there as well. I enjoy my talks with Cath. Even though it rare that we are together, we always have great talks. I feel, we see eye to eye on many things. We sat in the airport for maybe round an hour. Cecilie is so well behaved. She didn’t say much while Cath and I talked. At least Cecilie didn’t complain or interrupted us while talking. Not many kids behave that well.

We had a nice afternoon and evening with Cecilie before she goes back to her mum’s tomorrow.
