I am excited because tomorrow night, the first night in seven or eight weeks, is the night that Adam and I will be going out. We have our lovely babysitter booked and she will be here around seven.
Leo is excited to see Lisa because it has been a while since he last saw her and he is keen to show her all his new toys he has got from Christmas especially the $1 car he bought with his own shiny gold dollar coin. I think he is most excited about telling her about handing over the coin to the cashier and receiving the receipt – which he held on tightly all the way home, in the car – and then opening the Matchbox car, at home that he had selected from the many cars displayed for him to choose from.
On the few odd occasions, when Lisa has appeared at the doorstep, Leo has told her “No, Lisa. Go home,” or words to that affect. Lisa takes it all with a pinch of salt. She is used to lots of small people speaking their minds, expressing how they really feel. Lisa is daycare teacher.
Anyhow, Leo and Lisa will eat pizza tomorrow night, one of his favorite meals, and give Lisa a guided and detailed tour of his new toys which Lisa will squeal at delight upon seeing and play enthusiastically with until bedtime.
Adam and I will be squealing with delight once the car leaves the driveway with us in it. We will be going to see ‘Up in the air’ with George Clooney and then off for a drink and a spot of dinner.
So, on Friday, with both kids home, while I am cleaning the house, as I always do on a Friday, I will be smiling because this Friday won’t be like all of other Fridays. Mom and dad are actually going out without the kids, on a Friday night. Yippeeeee!!
