Yesterday was a bit crazy, what with work, dinner and Pat and I talking about grown-up stuff.
Maia was playing by herself for a bit. She does not do this terribly well. She has never been one of these kids that finds themselves a little corner to go and play with trains or dolls or anything. If she retreats to a corner, it is usually to rehearse for her next "Watch me, Mummy, I am going to do a Show!" And we have only just got her to retreat for that - we used to be treated to the whole shebang - rehearsal, show and encore. All at top volume.
We talked about her day at storytime and she said that she had not had a very fun day. We agreed that we would try and make tomorrow better. How were we going to do that? Well...
Tomorrow, she said, she wanted to play with me after school, instead of being on her own. Now, I am a people person too, so I know exactly where she was coming from.
Her plan for today is that we:
Come home from school
Play in the garden
Bounce on her trampoline
Watch the guinea pigs in their outside home
Come inside and do some colouring
Have some dinner (fish fingers and peas and beans, please)
watch a little bit of tv (Scooby Doo is best, if not, then SpongeBob Squarepants would do)
have a bath
go to bed and have stories.
Sounds like a good evening plan to me. Will let you know how we get on.
