How long to keep the placenta in the freezer for?

Four months after giving birth, I received a babycentre newsletter and one of the topics was: "How to eat your placenta?". Their timing is totally off.

Little Red Riding Hood

I wanted to tell M a story to calm her down before her nap and I first thought of Little Red Riding Hood. I started telling her the story and after an unnecessarily long description of all the food her mother prepared for her granny (I'm on a diet), I realised I didn't know the rest of the story. 
Does her red hood play any role in the story? How and why did the wolf end up in her granny's house? Where and when does the hunter appear? Why didn't the wolf just eat the girl in the forest? 
Well, he did in my version of the story. And he enjoyed all the food from the basket as well. The end.

New Year's in Regensburg

A couple of days away without Moki for the first time. She stayed with the grandparents who were given extremely detailed instructions and we drove to Regensburg so I can cry a lot about missing my baby and worry a lot about grandparents maybe putting her to bed at 20:15 instead of 20:10 because that could totally ruin her routine. Surprisingly m couple of hours and couple of beers later, I was starting to enjoy myself. It felt strange and terrifying but at the same time relaxing and much needed at the same time. Who knew there were so many emotions to experience? I just hope our little girl was going to recognise me after 48 hours without my face in her face.

Nap time decisions

Moki seems quite pleased with the decision we arrived at after a long discussion about naps. We agreed that she will nap whenever she feels like it and I will carry her to her bed whenever she wants me to.

First argument

I just had my first argument with Moki. We strongly disagreed on when she should go to sleep. She is currently chilling in the lounge, laughing at me, so I guess she won.
