Oh dear

The Middle Man is desperately needing some independence at the moment. We are at crisis point actually, so yesterday afternoon I let them go across to the park to play. About an hour later, imagine my surprise? when they called me over to have a look at the amazing work they had done along with our Little Neighbour from next door.

Lots of tools were scattered around, along with a great big digger truck, and they had successfully dug a hole at the foot of the slippery dip ladder, with a castle next to it, complete with moat. They had gone so far down that there was actually water in the moat! The Little Neighbour had run home for more water to fill the moat - a whole cup full!

Added this wonderful work, they had used all the sand out of the hole to completely cover the slippery dip in a layer of sand aproox 15cm deep. What a fantastic find if you wanted to bring your toddler along for a slide. What a wonderful feeling to find this when you are your wits end and the park is your saviour.

Oh, my Little Men surpassed themselves. So proud of themselves, I couldn't ask them to undo it all and thought I should just go over to the park after they had gone to sleep, but oops I forgot to do that. Hmmm....
