Daisy turns three months old today, and celebrates by having her worst night’s sleep and grumpiest day in ages. The local people blame the hurricane that has swept the coast, which has made San Cristobal rainy and cold. Apparently the change in pressure can stop children from sleeping, and it certainly seems to have turned our smiley daughter into Little Miss Whingey.
Can hardly believe we have all survived three months. Daisy is doing so well in general –smiling, babbling away, rolling over and grabbing things. She has broken several of her mobiles and I’ve been forced to make more out of biscuit boxes, and she’s begun to break them too. The only worry has been her weight, and she’s now beginning to look bigger and less fragile, which is a huge relief.
We watch Happy Feet (the cartoon about singing and dancing penguins) with Mariet and Enrique and their little daughter. It’s clearly a pirate copy, since occasionally someone will say “this is a sound test” over the dialogue, which has been dubbed into Spanish. With the Spanish subtitles as well I can just about understand what is going on.
Daisy loves “Patas Alegres”, as it is called in Spanish, and sings along enthusiastically with the penguins until we leave at about 11 o clock. The children here don’t seem to have bedtimes – both Itamar and baby Pablo are still up and carousing when we leave, while Daisy is very sleepy because we usually put her to bed at eight.
