Our little guy loves his daddy. So much so that it makes the mummy sometimes feel exasperated and sulky about it, but the other day, he did something just for mum.
We have two child sized wooden chairs, one of which we finally assembled after some long procrastination. So Calvin sat on it to give it a test run. His dad sat on it too. I was sitting on the floor, feigning sadness and said ‘oh, mama has no chair. She’ll just have to sit on the floor in a corner’ and started to give a good sulky performance. Then little Calvin gave his papa a little shove. ‘Pushes,’ he says. When the seat is vacant, he points to it and says ‘Mama sit’. Aww, my dear boy, I’ll forgive all the monkeying you ever did.
