Picked up a few more patterns at a shop after work - the man there said his MIL had a few he would bring, and several of them were well worth both our time. I am cutting out a shirred front shirt out of one of them now.
Esme is still having her dinnertime tantrums... *sigh* - not really sure if it is because she is too tired for dinner or just being contrary etc...? Just trying to wrestle a new diaper on her makes me feel like I'm torturing her, she screams and cries and throws herself on the floor. Washing her hands is just as bad - and then she throws the food down or falls asleep instead of eating. Tonight we just put it in the fridge instead of fight with her... she's sleeping it off now and maybe starting to stir now at 7 (we ate at 5). Some people I know said to try to give her a little bit of protein food in the middle of lunch and dinner - as an afternoon snack... that might stop the meltdowns, but we're not sure. Usually she has crackers for her snack - but the recc. for protein food was specific.
AFTER ALL THAT: She woke up and was cuddly and clingy, which was sweet - and then she wanted to eat, and choose clothes, and play with toys, have a bath and more food and watch her Shaun the Sheep. It's nearly eleven though and I do need to convince her to go to sleep!
