I picked Little Prince up from school as arranged, again his teacher brought him out to me as I was walking across the playground. He was happy and chatty telling me about what he had done that morning. Apparently they have been making skeletons (or skellingtons as he says), but I have been assured that I don't need to be scared as they aren't real ones :-) Little Prince said they had to cut them out, but that he is no good at cutting so he cut all the bits off!! He didn't seem bothered at all by this, or by the fact that his girlfriend managed the cutting beautifully. He spent the whole of the journey to the tea shop deciding what he wanted to eat and drink, so that was obviously much more important to him than decapitated skeletons!!
The cafe was full of bikers (pedal variety) and was very loud and full, but there was one free table so we sat down there. There was no sign of Little Miss Sensible, I tried ringing her a few times but she didn't answer her phone. We had just received our drinks when she turned up, she had heard her phone ringing but couldn't answer it as her nails weren't completely dry and she couldn't get it out of her bag!!
The bikers left half way through eating our lunch, which made chatting a bit easier!! Little Prince agreed that he would eat his cake (chocolate flapjack) in the car as it was getting close to the time we needed to return him to school. He complained throughout the journey back to school that I shouldn't have given him such a sticky cake!! He chose the darn thing!!
His girlfriend came running over to us as soon as we entered the playground and he happily ran off with her, no fussing whatsoever :-) I found the lunch time superviser and explained that he was back, and once again while I was doing that Little Prince came over a little upset. He needed lots of hugs and reassurance, before running off to play again, but didn't cry. I think we may have cracked this!! Fingers crossed I haven't spoken too soon!! NOT A PICTURE OF LITTLE PRINCE'S SCHOOL - although the play equipment is very similar :-)
