Busy day

I woke this morning at 6 had my usual cup of tea and read in bed, then showered all before Bella woke at 8. We went to Bradford for a 25 year celebration of the cochlear implant centre I used to work in. It was lovely seeing colleagues, parents and children I used to work with. Bella was really good and was desperate for 'painting' which was her face painted. We then went to Wesham, Kate and John's house for Bella to play with her cousins. Richard was there with the 3 children. It was lovely. Marty and Malcolm came with their 3 girls who made a fuss of the younger children and the cat. Bella enjoyed being with all the children. Coming home she fell asleep so was cranky when we got home. Matt came and he gave her a bath, we had food and then she face timed Jade and talked non stop for 5/10 minutes, mostly rubbish but some real words! She eventually went to bed at 9 although she protested. A lovely but tiring day.
