Playing in Knickers
The past two days have been particularly exciting for the two kids. After returning from vacation, I sent out three texts to three parents I know from their school. One returned the text last week and we set up to play on Tuesday at her house.
Monday Lady Jane threw up for reasons unknown in the morning. Even sips of water. She felt better by evening though and started eating everything in sight. It was one of those illnesses that make you shrug and move on.
Tuesday we headed over to H's house. She has a son in Little Man's class, one of Lady Jane's boyfriends from her class, and a daughter that's about 3 years old. We spent lunch and the majority of the afternoon there at her house. They have a trampoline and dress up clothes and Lego's and toy food. The kids didn't realize it but they had fish fingers for lunch. After the kids ate the fish I told them what they'd eaten. Little Man claimed he hadn't liked them but had eaten them anyway. This coming from the boy that threw up to avoid eating mashed potatoes. Lady Jane wasn't too ecstatic about playing there as the boys tended to shut her out of what they were doing.
Wednesday Lady Jane's little friend from nursery's mom called to invite us over. She has three girls, one in Little Man's class, one in between, and one in Lady Jane's class. We were going to walk down to the bottom of the field next to their house and play by the stream running there. She had also invited two other mother's with children about the same age. This created a good passel of boys and girls. We got there after lunch and snacked all afternoon. The children ran around like heathens while we sat, drank some tea and talked. At some point, Lady Jane and her friend decided to wade in the stream without shoes on. Lady Jane got her dress a little wet. Her friend was a bit more adventurous and decided to take off her shirt. Well, Lady Jane thought that was so cool and wanted her dress off. We made them stop at their knickers. So these two little girls who are about the same size are playing in their underwear in the stream. Eventually we had to spoil their fun to pack up and go back up. I had brought Lady Jane a change of clothes, but they were short pants and a shirt. So she cried the entire way up the long, never ending, steep hill back to their house.
It was good for the kids to get to see their friends before term begins next week especially after the traveling we've done.
