Too Young to Have a Girlfriend

Some of Craig's Mum's friends came around to visit one day last week (it might have been Wednesday) but because the group included five children it was decided that the park might be a better place to play than Craig's home.

At the park, the one girl among the five children made sure she took good care of Craig. First helping him up the stairs to the top of the slide.


And then sliding down with him.


While they were on the slide the boys were in the background on a see-saw.


The three boys were all bigger than Craig.


So Craig's protector kept him away from them.


She stayed very close at almost all times.


When Craig's protector and two of the boys got on a four-sided see-saw thingy, the biggest boy jumped off suddenly sending the smaller boy in the yellow shirt sprawling.


When Craig's protector tried to put his panda backpack in a safe place Craig had to follow to see where it was going.


The protector tried to get Craig to lie down with his head on her lap but Craig slipped off the seat just as Craig's Mum was taking a photo.


For most of the time that they were in the park Craig's Mum was able to rest and chat with the other mum's while the protector took good care of Craig.


And Craig seemed pretty happy despite the lack of attention from his Mum.
