Oct. 23rd, 2016 05:01 pmAn update on my YN's night: He stayed the whole night, which was good because to begin with he was crying and begging to go home. He still asked to go home a few times, apparently, but my parents put him off by claiming their was no petrol in the car, and then when he said they could push it, saying they were too old, and then when he said they could walk, saying they couldn't possibly.
Then this morning, at about 8am, he came into my bedroom - he knocked first, because he is a sweetheart - crying and saying he wanted my mum. I took him into her bedroom, and she let him get in bed with her. He said he woke up and was afraid of clowns. He and my MN - all my nephews really - have been obsessed with clowns lately, what with all the stuff that's been going on in the news. My MN has a clown costume for Halloween, although apparently he can't go out in it, and a variety of pretend knives to run around with. We'll see how well that turns out. Still, it's odd to hear that my YN is both terrified of them, and also obsessed with them. He spent some of the morning explaining to us all about how there had been a clown in his back garden, and the clown honked his nose, and then put a brick into a bucket of water and threw it up into the air, and then it came down and broke a house, and he helped the clown. So that's exciting. Kids are weird.
And it's half-term this week. We'll see how that goes.
