Moomin and Gremlin are going for a sleepover with my parents tomorrow night. I am so looking forward to a night off. Moomin went to stay with them now and again from about 6 months (but has always been a better sleeper than Gremlin) and I think it did us all good.
Tomorrow will be Gremlin's first night away at 10 and a half months and I am absolutely petrified. It is a good thing to do for many reasons but control of her diet has been down to me (and Daddymin a bit, but mostly me) and tomorrow I will be handing it over for 24 hours. I have spent the last couple of hours sorting things and writing detailed lists of what and how much she should eat and when and I do trust my parents totally, but I am still petrified. As Daddymin reminds me, Gremlin will be fine as even if she eats something she shouldn't, as a one off it will not hurt her (it is long term sustained high levels which cause the damage) but that doesn't really relax me. I never want her levels to be out of range.
My return to work is approaching fast, and Grandmamin will be looking after Gremlin for 3 days a week. So this is very good practice, as I keep telling myself again and again. Grandmamin knows and understands the PKU diet, and has done her best with weighing tests I have given her! Grandadmin will do as he is told and is very good at maths (very helpful for weighing and recalculating). I have done all the preparation and planning, and need to learn to control from a distance.
