Tonight, Lily has been extra helpful. She stayed calm when it was time to turn off Minecraft. She ate all her dinner without fuss, and played happily with her little brother, with extra patience when he grabbed her hair.
There was much laughter, and happiness in this home.
When bedtime came round there was no whining, no battles. We went through the well rehearsed routines like absolute pros. Even Pixie settled quickly.
In fact, right now, while Mummy types, Phillip is fast asleep, and Lily...
Is not, of course. She sleeps so little. But she IS settled, calm and quiet. That is a rarity.
The reason?
Tomorrow is "The Disco".
Lily has been counting down to it since Ticket Day.
("one more sleep, Mummy. It oomowwow")
Yes, love. Bring on the noise, the heat, the crowds of dancing children... and watch my lass, the girl with sensory issues, and quirks, take it all in her stride.
Until the balloons appear of course.
