So I turned around from our original destination of the beach and made tracks for home and, more importantly, the bedroom. Turns out she *was* more than a little tired and proceeded to sleep for two hours (about half the time Nana had to spend with her!). Lesson for the future - don't tell Harriet Nana is coming until about an hour beforehand.
She finally woke up and we all scarfed down some lunch before racing to try and get the return train on time. Nana got out of the car to go and Harriet just threw the BIGGEST sad face! The bottom lip was quivering, her eyes were welling up with tears, and she was blubbering out a little "bye bye nana' that sounded very small indeed.
But luckily for us and unluckily for Nana, she missed her train! So all three of us got to spend some time together at the station drinking babycinos, playing games and waving goodbye to lots of trains going past. This time the goodbye was a little happier and Nan could leave without thinking Harriet's world had just collapsed. Thanks for a great afternoon Nana!

When we woke up this morning we soon realised why - she was (well, still is) sick. She had a fever, her nose was running and she was not a happy camper. In fact if I was at work it would have run something like this:
S: Irritable, mucopurulent nasal discharge
O: T:38.0, RR:unable to discern over squeals, HR:breaking them everywhere
A: URT viral infection
P: Stay home today, administer paracetamol as required for pyrexia
And, well, that's what I did. It was just a quiet day indoors for us. Papa came home and took this very cute shot of Harry telling us all what for.

She's down for sleep tonight but I'm not holding my breath for a long night's sleep. In fact it's a miracle I got through this post without being summoned in (shouldn't count my chickens just yet, should I?!).
