Today

We are coming into a long weekend. I intend to spend tonight in front of the television, hopefully eating chocolate. The chocolate depends on whether or not I fall asleep before the children go to bed!

Today is my Playcentre duty day, which means I am reasonably tired. We had a visitor this afternoon too – a friend of Aidan’s from Playcentre came here afterwards to play while his mother attended a funeral. He is a delightful child and was very easy to look after for a couple of hours. He was very gracious towards Aidan, offering him drinks of water and toys, as well as carrying his bag down from the car for him. Aidan was not quite as gracious in return, needing some coaxing to share his motorcycle ride-on and assorted Thomas the Tank Engine paraphernalia!

The highlight for both boys (based on his friend’s report to his mother on her return, and Aidan’s day-report to Brendon when he came home), seemed to be Aidan’s alfresco nappyless poo on the ground. Both found this very interesting, but were thankfully able to resist the urge to investigate in a tactile manner, satisfying themselves with looking and commenting on the deposit.
