Update...

Ok, I get it. I'm a terrible blogger and am truly rubbish at keeping up to date with this sort of thing.

The truth is, nothing much is really happening in the world of the flower baby at the moment. She goes to nursery one day a week while we're on summer holidays, which is fantastic as it means for one day a week I get to either catch up with work or sit on my behind and read all day (it's usually the latter, trust me). We went to the hospital yesterday for Lily's eye checkup and her patching has been reduced to two hours a day (from an original four hours a day), which is fantastic! When we received the news last year that she had a squint and would have to wear a patch and glasses, I was devastated and honestly believed that it was my fault and she's never have a normal eyesight. But, of course, doctors always manage to prove me wrong. She's getting better. There's still the possibility that her eyesight will never be what is considered 'normal', but who likes normal anyway? Not me.
Her third birthday came and went with a blurr. I took the day off college for it and we celebrated just by spending the day together. It was good. She then had a very small party the following weekend, which was also (for lack of a better word) good.
I've heard many horror stories about how three is worse than two, but so far there hasn't been much difference to note. She still has the occasional tantrum and is rubbish with her food, but nothing has majorly improved and nothing has gotten worse.
She's fantastically funny and polite, and people are constantly telling me that I should be proud of her and myself for raising her. I am. Trust me. In fact, sometimes I worry that I come across a little smug.

An update on me. Hm, well. We're still living with my parents, but my best friend, Laura, has moved in with us. It is unbelievably nice to have someone be here again. Going from having three siblings being around to none was a shock, and I got lonely very easily. Now that Laura is here, the loneliness isn't so bad. Lily loves her too, of course!
Still with the same partner. Nothing much has changed there apart from the break up a month ago and then the getting back together a few weeks later. I find it hard to admit, and even harder to write down, but - I love him. An awful lot. Sometimes I worry that I neglect Lily because so much of me wants to just be with him. But it all balances out in the end.
The summer holidays are going painfully slow. I miss college, just purely because it keeps me busy. But because of all this free time I've had, I've had the time to think about what I want to do after I'm done with college. I'm shocked to admit that university has gone from being not even an option, to what I will probably be doing. I haven't looked into which university I want to go to yet, but I have decided that I'd most enjoy studying law. I've decided that this is the best option for me, as it sets an example for Lily, and means for an extra three years, I get to have holidays with Lily still, ha!

Must sign off now. Lily is napping and I seriously need to get things done.
I will do my best to update more often. I am a truly terrible blogger.
