Last year I blogged the life of my small son George. Unfortunately his daddy died in October 2009, and as I had mostly written the blog so that his daddy who was working away could see how George was growing up, I felt I couldn't continue with it.
Lately we have somewhat recovered our equilibrium, and although we still talk about his daddy every day, and even both talk to him in case he is listening, some of the "Georgeisms" are starting to creep back. I will be referring to his friends by their initials as I don't think it's fair to name other people in here.
It was a real cracker that made me decide to start this blog. I'm sure there is still hope for him, but sometimes I wonder. During December, there was no P.E. in school as the hall was being used for play rehearsals, then in January we had the snow, so P.E. was postponed. However, during the last week of January, things were back to normal, and the boy came out of school with that dragged through a hedge backwards look of a small child that has dressed itself.
This is how the conversation went :-
Me : Have you had PE today?
G : Yes, how can you tell?
Me : I can tell you've taken your jumper off and put it back on again
G : Yes, we had to get changed into our PE clothes
Me : Did you enjoy PE?
G : Yes it was absolutely great
Me : Which bit did you like the best (thinking running, beanbags etc)
G : When we all got undressed and I saw B's knickers
B is his best friend, and as they were potty trained together at nursery he has seen her underwear (and she his) on many, many occasions. Obviously this is different. Not quite the answer I was expecting.
