A parent’s joy.

The kids woke up early, the ‘Little One’ slightly later than the 'Slightly Bigger One'. Their mum was still in bed (after having had a bad night's sleep), dedicated dad was looking after them. Dedicated dad, fed and played with ‘Little One and Slightly Bigger One. Then we heard the clumping, stumping and thudding (I really mean the dainty footsteps of a ballerina dancing elegantly to Swan Lake) of Mum getting up, the tapping of water as Mum had a shower, the word went out ‘HIDE! The mummy monster is up!!!!!’ shouted the Slightly Bigger One.

The Bigger One hid, the Little One sat drawing, the mummy monster came into the living room. The room was lit up by the Little One’s glowing smile as the mummy monster came whooshing in. A cry of joy was heard. The mummy monster turned to the Little One (who last week was weak) and asked

‘Where is the Bigger One?’. With strength of mind and body, the Little One pointed with certainty to the sofa, the game was up. The Bigger One jumped up, both of them (Little and Big) jumped on the now cuddly mummy monster.

A week ago this scene would have been a dream, now it is a parent's joy!!!!
