Little Prince has been either tired or manic the whole of today. I think the strong emotions swirling round the house, and his own sadness about saying goodbye to his adored big sister are affecting him. We are trying to keep to a routine and keep things calm for him, but with limited success!!! He also keeps following Drama Teen or Fraulein each time they go upstairs to do their homework - I think he wants his remaining family to stay together where he can see them at the moment. I'm planning on giving him an early bath and early bedtime, as he is tiring himself out with all this. I am sure he will get used to the new arrangements, but it will probably take quite some time. Hopefully school will be a bit more understanding if he is even more anxious for a while.UPDATE: Little Prince has, temporarily I hope, returned to the crazy chaotic behaviour he used to exhibit. I was summoned by a blood curdling scream from Drama Teen, Little Prince had raided her make up and spread it liberally all over himself and her room. I dunked him in a quick bath, while Drama Teen and Fraulein tackled the room. Luckily it was mostly dry powder blusher that could easily be wiped up and it was only on the cover of her school books, he hadn't decorated the insides!! The harder parts were where he had used nail varnish and sun cream!! He is now confined to Mum - he is only allowed to be where I am, not in a different room, or on his own. Oh dear, it is obviously bothering him more than he can articulate that LMS has gone. It could be a LONG week or so!!!
