With the two big kids in school all day, Arden and I have a nice three hour block of "it's just you and me" time. And, of the three of them she needs the extra time together the most. She craves it really and so many times we get distracted or brush her off. Not because we don't want to be with her 24/7 of course, but it can be difficult to rehearse the repeated three line dialogues that the ponies/mermaids/petshops speak in. I like your hair too but what is your opinion on Scottish independence? But then, politics are small matters when Nightmare Moon is about to take over the whole world! So, having a window that is just ours allows me to give in and play and read stories or go exploring with my little chicken little.
The exploring is usually the result of needing to run a small errand here or there, but that is just the excuse. Sometimes we explore our new town and then the rain starts to poor and we must pick out a new umbrella . . .
Sometimes we go into Glasgow, a 30 minute drive, and walk the streets sharing an ice cream cone and meet up with Daddy for lunch . . .
Sometimes we go and explore some place altogether new and walk the High Street -popping into toy shops or book shops and making wish lists for the always anticipated next birthday or Christmas . . .
Of course, sometimes we just stay home and play ponies or watch too much KidsNetflix together.
