Me and Princess Lollipop are having a quiet day. I'm worrying about Little Prince's appointment tomorrow (ADHD assessment) so I'm not much use at anything anyway. I didn't sleep very well either so I'm tired, which isn't helping. Mr Messy and Little Prince have decided they are going to the cinema together tonight, they were supposed to go over Christmas but with all of us being ill they never got round to it. Despite Drama Teen's verdict that Little Prince wouldn't enjoy it, they are going to see the new Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black, mainly as its the only suitable film on tonight! Hopefully Little Prince won't get too bored in the slower parts of the film, Mr Messy says he'll distract him with popcorn, so he should be fine :-)
Princess Lollipop fell asleep next to me on the sofa again, I'm beginning to think she does still need her naps, just shorter ones! It will have to be a short nap as we have to collect Little Prince from school in less than an hour! I should go and get some more sorting out done, but I'm just not in the mood so I'll stay here and mess about on the laptop till its time to wake Princess Lollipop up instead!!
Up at school collecting Little Prince, Princess Lollipop tried to join in a game of tig with Little Prince and his friend J. The boys slowed down and let her play, and when it was time to get back to the car they held her hands and walked over to the gate with her it was so sweet - even the teachers were saying "awwww" lol. Little Prince didn't argue about not having friends over to play as he was excited about his cinema trip with Daddy, which is a relief as I dread the nightly tantrums over someone coming over!
Mr Messy and Drama Teen arrived home very soon after we did, and Little Prince had already got changed out of his school uniform and was raring to go!! We managed to persuade him to wait as they didn't have to leave until 5pm ish! Both he and Princess Lollipop had snacks, although Little Prince didn't want to get too full so he would have room for his popcorn and hotdog!!
Once "the boys" had left, me and Drama Teen sat down to watch the latest episode of Glee she'd got saved. Princess Lollipop liked the music and danced to it, but she wasn't too impressed with the dialogue parts!! When Glee had finished Drama Teen went off for a shower and me and Princess Lollipop played in the lounge. It will soon be time to get her ready for bed, hopefully I can get her settled before "the boys" get back, if she sees Daddy and Little Prince that will be it for sleeping for hours!!
Well I didn't get her in bed before "the boys" came home! But as it was so late on a school night, we got Little Prince in bed pretty quickly so Princess Lollipop wasn't too rev'd up by him! Then my friend rang, and we had a lovely chat - its always nice to catch up :-) Just before we finished our conversation Princess Lollipop fell fast asleep on my knee, so once we'd said our goodbyes I got her in bed and I'll probably go for an early night myself. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep better, but as its Little Prince's ADHD Assessment tomorrow I doubt it :-(

Hey I had a suggestion from a friend over Sis' sleeping. She said her two boys were the same, so she played calming music to them and it worked like a charm - her 18 year old STILL listens to music to help him sleep! Obviously no good for while she's in your room, but could help...if she doesn't start dancing to it :P

Thanks LMS and your friend, we'll have to try that. Its not too much trouble to get her to sleep - its getting her to stay that way on her own that's difficult! She's more settled in our room as she can just crawl over for a hug, but it can be exhausting when she has a restless night!!

That's what she meant, that they were also restless during the night, but for some reason playing calming music helped them sleep - and stay asleep!! Good luck for tomorrow :) Let me know how it goes! LMS oxoxxoxo
We'll try it then!
I'll probably blog about this afternoon's appointment rather than write it out twice (blog & email).
Love love love
