August 18- Today I am grateful for the chance I had today to hear Deborah Byrne share her story and sing over high tea. An amazing woman. A remarkable story. A sensational voice.
Thank you Sandy for the gift of having us on your table. And to Tobes for taking Tilly for that time.

For new friends who are experiencing the same things as us.
For our neighbour Kelly who brought us over dinner tonight.
For amazing sleeps today from Miss Tilly.
For Toby who settled her tonight (first time at home ever!).
For the chance for me to have some great naps today.
For our comfy bed.
That today is Friday!

August 15- Today I am grateful for Tilly's (and my!) steep learning curve when it comes to sleep and settling. Positives- she self settled several times overnight and today. She went 7hrs overnight with no feed. She had a 1hr 20min nap today. I had a nap today! We have met some lovely families here. She woke with a smile today. The staff are very accommodating and flexible to what you are comfortable with.
Challenges- It's hard to do the 'new way' when you're tired and you know feeding to sleep will be almost instantaneous.
Enjoying a rollover feed and cuddle now.
