Two fluffies and a runaway

Aidan doesn't like Isabelle being left at Playcentre without him. So this morning, I had some activities planned.

I had a voucher for two free fluffy's (sic! Arggh!) at a local cafe. So, in the car I asked Aidan if he would like to go to a cafe and have a fluffy. (A fluffy is basically warm milk with froth on the top, maybe a marshmellow or two and chocolate sprinkles). "I want two fluffies!" he said.

Aidan never gets two fluffies, but often asks for them.

When we arrived, I passed over my voucher and ordered two fluffies, but asked for marshmellows for one (so as not to overload the treat with sweetness!).

Two fluffies arrived for Aidan. One had one pink and one white marshmellow on top. The other had a little chocolate fish.

Aidan could not believe his luck. He kept asking if the second was for Isabelle.

Next we went to the supermarket. Aidan raced up ahead of me and darted out of sight. I hurried along, calling for him to wait at the top.

When I got to the top he wasn't there.

I looked here and there. I looked outside in the car park. I started worrying. I looked into the supermarket.

No Aidan.

Just as I was starting to panic, a trolley attendant told me that there was a small boy hiding between the trollies. I saw him peeking out cheekily, giggling. He had seen me walking up and down looking for him and thought it was great fun.

I'm sure he didn't understand why hiding like that was a seriously bad idea, but my genuine relief at finding him he found interesting. We will debrief on this later....

After the supermarket, we did the chemist, duck feeding and a playground.

He's asleep now!
