Reasons to get the hell out of dodge #1

I took Bax to kindy this morning. i love cruising along with him, chatting. He can now sing the whole of baa baa black sheep although he misses out the bit about the dame which is funny.

This morning it took us ages in all the traffic - we left at 7.40 and got there at 8.40.

mt eden Rd was particularly bad. By the time we got there Bax was really pissed off, then he cheered up when he worked out how to unbuckle his seat belt. I had to wait til I stopped again at a red light and then menouver myself around to do him back up again. That really annoyed him and he screamed at me that he was stuck and it hurt.

By the time we pulled into Ranfurly Road he was bawling saying he wanted to go home and watch The Go Show - a NZ playschool type thing. I parked the car and got him and his bag out. he looked exhausted and told me he was tired and he wanted to go to bed. i suggested we go inside kindy anyway and see what everyone was doing - seeing as we were here anyway.

He clung onto me as we stood with others on the front veranda - he quietly whispered into my ear 'let's go home Mummy" .

i explained that it would take us even longer in the car if we went all the way home again.

We went inside and sat on the couch to collect ourselves.

He didn't want to sit on my lap but sat next to me as he calmed down.

A second later he bounced off the couch went over to the little tea set, brought me two little cups and a teapot and said in a chipper voice - let's have a cup of tea Mummy.

Obviously he's worked out already what our cure all is!

When i left him he was sharing a pretend yoghurt with a little shy boy who was having his first day.

I can't wait to be 10 minutes max from kindy!
