In Touch

Yesterday my girls were playing with the neighbourhood children. Charlie noticed I have a carabiner as a keyring. He went to find his "lock". He came back with his big brother (nine years old) in tow. Could they come and play with the girls at their house. Yes, but only if their mother agreed. Also was E sure he wanted to come over? All the toys we have are for younger children and mainly aimed at the under 4's. Barbie is really the only toy we have in his age group. That was fine he likes "women's things" "oh, are you in touch with your feminine side E?" "Eh?" "Do you like dresses, Barbie that kind of thing?" "Eugh! NO!"
Well I did not think it would be a success but E and the little Yoasties had great fun this afternoon sticking love-hearts and cutting out pictures of flowers and the like out of old magazines and brochures. They made beautiful collages with glitter and everything. Charlie found "What Car?". He will either drive a BMW or an Alfa Romeo when he is older or maybe both. (He did not like the Octavia much)
Maybe E who normally charges around like a lunatic when he is with the other boys is in touch with his feminine side after all.
