Tea time

Evening tea. Getting ready tentatively as maybe we’ve gotten a breakthrough this evening with Kara. Thanks to the Yoto she settled in bed for the collection of Winnie the Pooh stories. Thanks to the soothing tones of Alan Bennett she’s managed to get herself to sleep all by herself. Considering I’ve had to hold / rock / sit with her (delete as she got older) to help her sleep since she was born it’s a pretty big deal. Couldn’t quite believe it for a while. Might not work every night but it has tonight so that’s a bit a of a big deal.

I used to need to fall asleep listening to audiobooks or music well into my teens only stopping at Uni because I had flat mates and thin walls.
