Down

Master Five Year Old is all down in the dumps.

He had a sleep over with Miss B last night, and was not happy to be leaving this morning.

The night was full of laughter for all of us. Miss B's mum invited me to stay for a glass of wine, which turned into a bottle... Each... The kids wanted me to stay until they were ready to settle down, which wasn't until nearly 10pm.

They ran around happily for hours making very happy noises. Things got very funny when the love-struck pair decided to play dress-ups, and my son came out in a beautiful flamenco style dress. Much dancing ensued. As did laughter from us mums.

Things got weird not long after... MFYO came out to us with a startled look on his face... "Mum... Caroline.... Umm... Bella has taken all her clothes off........"

Just before I left they were having a lovers' tiff about one of them hogging all the doona (duvet, quilt, blanket... whatever). But they soon settled and slept like angels, apparently.

This morning they made scrambled eggs together for breakfast.

But, all good things must come to an end. Parting is such sweet sorrow. The darlings got very emotional. Miss B confessed her love to MFYO and said she wants to marry him.

This made the trip home all the more painful for Ben. He sat, sulking, staring out the tram window... Grumpy at me for taking him away from his lady.
Young love...
