17-08-19 Kingsley: Teah’s 6th Birthday

Saturday 17th August 2019

Walking to Carrington Rd at 8:15am to catch the 313 bus service up to jiu-jitsu where Kingsley after his 3-egg breakfast dominates his opponents in sparing…

Next is tennis where, after his honey and butter Turkish bread toastie, Kingsley masters his donkey drops and volleys. One banana and one Farmers Union yoghurt squirt down his throat its now time for Teah’s birthday party…

Linus is in top form at Teah’s party notwithstanding us being so late to it and he being physically pooped from having trained at jiu-jitsu and at tennis and lets not mention that I drag him too and fro on foot and on busses. So its a pleasant surprise he has but one breakdown at the party. And it happens outside at the playground when he realises his party bag doesn’t have much in it. That is, the other kids have loads of goodies in theirs but poor old Kingsley got the left overs. Cue mighty meltdown.

Kavita comes to the rescue digging deep into Jesse’s party bag to produce a small packet of chocolate My Little Teddy cookies. Cue smiles and off he goes to play without a care in the world again.

Of course I repay Kavita for this kindness: hot chocolates for both boys at the local Cafe…
