Sooky Lala

...is my boy!

This mornings performance, when he saw his father pick up his bag, to prepare it for his day at family daycare, was seriously worthy of an Academy Award.

He snatched the bag from his dads hand, & pelted it as far as he could...(it landed at his feet!)
hid his pillow behind the big couch, & unpacked his lunch, as quick as I packed it!
Then the sad little face erupted in tears!
He was sobbing his heart out, hugging me as tight as he could.

I reassured him that he could stay with Mummy, & he was a little better, but not quite believing, until we put away his things together.

Then, the little bugger passed his Dad the phone & said... "Tell Lisa!"
Dad had to call his carer, while he was superglued to my neck, & only then, would he let me out of the 5cm radius of his sights that I was caught in.

I don't mind...for me its not the issue of paying for care when Im not using it.
I just could not send my kids to something they didn't want to do (hey, big school doesn't count!)

So, for now, he is taking a break....& we will try to re-introduce him to separating from me, as painlessly as possible, soon.
