Simons say

Our mate Si came round on Tuesday night for some food.  Actually, he came round and made us food.  This is one of the best presents people have given us since Aidan was born.  The extra pair of hands made us so much more relaxed.  

Si and I got home at the same time, Erin was putting Aidan down to sleep in the bedroom.  The changing mat and bath was still on the kitchen table.  'I bet Jamie doesn't have this problem,' Si said with a smile.  I bet Jamie's too busy saving Britain from a school dinner crisis to make food for his mates, should have been my reply. 

Sadly, it wasn't.

Aidan's only - touch wood - time of the day, at the moment, when he has a hard time sleeping is between 7 - 10pm.  We assumed we'd be in for broken conversations but were pleasantly surprised as he slept through Si's visit.  Just as the night before, when he called on the phone, Si had a calming effect on Aidan - or more likely the parents.

We asked Si and Sar - who's still in Paris for a while - if they would be Aidan's godparents on New Year's Eve.

Is that a smile or wind?

I have to mention another Simon in this post too as his comment really helped with bath and changing time tonight.  Erin and I top and tailed Aidan.  Erin set up with the usual changing mat, clothes, wipes, cotton wool, water and towels.  There was also an added extra.  The electric blower worked a treat.
