The snow came down steadily and hard. The MET had predicted snow showers for the whole day and we were supposed to have about 3 to 5 inches of snow; this is supposed to be one of UK's worst winters. And our part of UK is supposed to be one of the more severely impacted areas.
I had thought I was better, but am apparently wrong. I woke up feeling flushed and lightheaded. To say I am delirious would be an exaggeration, but I certainly felt groggy and could not think clearly. Daddy Low, not working today, has very nicely decided to let me sleep in and brought Julien with him downstairs. When I woke up, it was already past 1pm. And Daddy Low had lunch ready! Wow! I was really touched.
It was our only day of the week together, since Daddy Low works 6 days now. But since we are all not feeling well and the snow is just coming down non-stop, we decided that it would be a stay-in weekend. Daddy Low was happy, since he was really tired and today, he could watch all the telly he wanted. Despite the late waking up, I still felt drained and went back to nap at 3pm. And woke up 2 hours later. Can't believe I slept that much today, but felt so much better! Especially after downing countless glasses of Beecham's hot lemon mix. Wonder why they don't have that in Singapore; it's a lifesaver!
We decided to put up the Christmas tree, but Daddy Low first has to shovel his way through to the garage to get it. Watching him at work, you would think we are digging a trench in a battlefield - the snow is that deep! Too bad it is so dark, otherwise, I would have a picture of Daddy Low shovelling.
We put up the Christmas tree, but got distracted by a movie... so the Christmas tree was left "undressed" for the night. And looking at Julien's Christmas present, it was simply too big to put under the tree even if wrapped. We decided to assemble it instead. It's called the Baby Einstein Sitter. Looking at the parts, you would think it required an adult Einstein to fit it too...
Daddy Low soon had it fixed and we put Julien in it. He is still a bit too small to sit by himself in it, but we managed by wedging a small soft toy (my poor Hamtaro!) between his chest and the seat. And with satisfaction, we watched Julien checking out his new toys on the surface. By far, his favourite is the lion drummer, and I think it is because it is so huge, that its face stands out amongst all the other toys. Julien, like all babies, is clearly drawn to faces now. Baby Einstein is an expensive toy, but at least, Julien likes it, so it seems worth the money. And as we looked around, the living room is slowing being taken over by all his toys and becoming his space instead. Oh, the joys of babyhood! :)
So, that ends our lazy stay-in, snowed-in weekend. Telly for Daddy, sleep for me, and new toy for Julien. And all of us watching the snow coming down prettily from the cosy comfort of our heated home. Not that bad of a weekend plan for a change.
