We went to a bbq this afternoon at a friends house - lots of people (most of whom we didn't know), lots of kids (all older than Oscar), a paddling pool in the garden.....
We arrived as the heavens opened in a torrential thunderstorm that lasted about as long as it took to get us all soaked getting out of the car....
Oscar insisted on going swimming in the pool but we didn't have a swim nappy so he went commando - and crapped on the lawn. Joy. He was quite good most of the time - until about 6pm when the demons possess him.
Toby was in the living room - most people had gone and it was just a few people left - people we knew really well and it was lovely. Toby was on the floor on his belly - and then by rolling over and over from back to front to back, (something he's never done before) managed to get across teh whole room and under the coffee table. It was fantastic.
Oscar decided to join him under there.....and then bit him. Bit Toby's fingers so hard.....Toby was screaming in pain and we couldn't get under the table to stop Oz. We were both shouting at him but he just bit harder....
Eventually we got him out. Toby screamed for about 5 minutes - real pain - his fingers were bruised......
Oscar was timed out. He also screamed. At this point the friends who didn't have children are thanking their lucky stars....
Rob was SO stressed. He doesn't enjoy social situations anyway, he isn't smoking, he couldn't speak to anyone really because he was supervising Oscar and there were a lot of Christians there. His idea of hell really.
So we're home - Oz went to bed with no story and no Muthy (his constant monkey companion). Toby calmed down and has gone down fine. I'm just going to tiptoe around until Bert de-stresses. And maybe watch Big Brother in the kitchen to give him a bit of peace.....
Siblings........
