Saundersfoot Beach, Pembrokeshire, Wales
The week seems to have flown by, as it now tends to do. I thought about writing this each day but the hours just slip away from me.
Sunday was a rather exhausting day; as Eve and I both worked really hard with potty training. The poor girl has started to get quite upset when she needs to go and holds the front of her nappy and cries. I tried to explain to her not to worry or to be afraid. She seemed happier if I took her nappy off so we'd try the potty, but she would then cry there too.
Eve did so well and I was really proud of her at the days end when she had done two wee's in the potty. However, the amount of times that she was holding on to the front of her nappy started making me worry that she might possibly have cystitis, and I was also worrying about her worrying and 'holding it in'. Oh the trials and tribulations.
Nursery are great and are helping her to use the potty when she is there. I explained to them that she's been getting quite upset about it and that a slow path through potty training is fine. I think that she needs to get a bit more used to it.
It was rather a shame when I woke up on Monday morning at 6am (when we were supposed to be going on holiday) throwing up and generally feeling awful, as I had wanted to carry on with potty training that day. Thankfully Sam managed to get Eve to nursery so that he could look after me at home.
On Tuesday morning I was feeling much better so we set off on the drive to Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire in Wales. Sam's mother's family used to holiday there in the 1950's and 60's, and then Sam and his siblings were taken there for holidays during the 1980's. We thought that we should carry on with the tradition and take Eve. It's something we had been thinking about for years and I'm glad we finally got round to doing it.
Saundersfoot is a lovely coastal village, the beach is wide and flat; great for keeping an eye on children, and the sand is the perfect kind for building sandcastles.
The highlight of our short trip was during a late lunch in the fish and chip shop - it had to be done, seeing that we were by the sea and all. Sam and I clinked our bottles together and said, 'Cheers'. Eve quickly followed suit, picked up her sippy cup and began 'cheersing' us. It was so cute and made us both laugh.
We stayed in a wooden lodge in a holiday park on the outskirts of the village. We walked down a steep bridal path to get to the beach which was interesting with the buggy, so we got a taxi for the return trip. It took an extra hour to get Eve to go to sleep in a 'strange' bedroom that evening, so we were both exhausted when we finally sat down on the sofa. Funnily enough, Eve slept all night, and we got up in the morning about half an hour before her!
