2.
I would wake up at 6 every morning. I wasn't an early bird usually but since moving into my own place with my little brother Oscar I had managed to wake up at 6 every morning on the dot. I do my half an hour jog on the Wii and wake Oscar up at half 6 to eat breakfast, sometimes we eat breakfast together but he prefers to have his Porridge and apple juice in front of the television before nursery. We would brush our teeth at 8:25AM and get ready for nursery, which Oscar had told me was boring on a number of occasions and didn't hold back in telling me he couldn't wait to go to big boy school next year. We were out of the house by 9 and would walk to nursery. Sometimes we would walk and talk or sing songs and even count he was brilliant at counting and recognising numbers we would usually start with our house number. As soon as I'd shut the door Oscar would point up to the golden numbers attached to the door and shout "Two and Three Lolly" and other days Oscar would ride his bike, we would usually do that on a Friday that was his favourite day, I think that was mainly because of the bike riding but since his comment about Nursery being boring maybe it was being Friday was his half a day and he got to go to Lola and Peters and play with their son Daniel who is the same age.
Tuesday was my day off work, the day I could do anything I liked and I spent the day in the Cafe with a doughnut and a coffee most of the time, I'd have my iPod and headphones in and watch the world other times I'd draw, Tuesdays were the days I missed Oscar the most. I couldn't wait for it to be 3:30 so I could pick him up.
"How about I arrange for you to have a sleepover at Mummy and Daddy's on Friday!?" I asked Oscar on our way to nursery watching him out the corner of my eye as his face lit up.
"Will Abi be there Lolly?" He asked skipping along before grabbing my hand.
"Yes I'm sure Abi will be there, if you ask her nicely you could watch a film and maybe she might let you stay up a bit later but not too much later, because I think Mummy and Daddy are taking you out on Saturday" I said
"Really Abi might let me stay up past my bed time and Mummy and Daddy are taking me out? I must have been a good boy at nursery this week" Oscar said with excitement, I laughed at his comment considering it was only Tuesday.
"I have missed Abi" Oscar whispered "And sometimes Mummy and Daddy" He added
"I miss Abi too Osc" I whispered back seeing tears in his eyes "But it wasn't nice at Mummy and Daddy's and we couldn't stay there, do you understand?" He nodded "But if you like your sleepover on Friday maybe you could have more sleepovers how does that sound?" I asked wiping the tears that had fallen onto his cheeks, he grinned and nodded his head.
"That's sounds excellent Lolly" Oscar said in a grown up voice with a giggle, he'd obviously heard me on the phone to a client and was copying me, I had to laugh out loud at that one Oscar still giggling too.
We finally got to the Centre and I had given Oscars teacher his lunch bag. We had done our hand shake and I watched as he disappeared into the room and was about to walk off when I heard his voice again I turned around to see him peering his head around the door. "Bye Bye Lolly" He shouted "It was nice doing busyness with you" He reeled off having difficulty saying business "And I will see you when the little hand is on number 3 and the big hand is number 6, is that right?" He asked
I couldn't help seeing a smirk on the receptionists face, before I answered trying not to laugh. "Yes that's right Oscar good boy I will see you then, I look forward to seeing you" I said watching him burst out laughing he had definitely heard me on the phone "Have fun" I called as he was about to shoot off
"Bye Lolly" He waved and stuck his tongue out
I waved back "Bye bye, you cheeky monkey" I stuck my tongue out back
