Craig is quite accustomed to this type of situation and on this particular morning he didn't bother leaving the room to go and look for his Mum. Craig's Dad was right there so there was nothing to worry about. Of course, nothing to worry about does not mean that everything was the way Craig wanted it. He wanted someone to play with but Craig's Dad looked like he was asleep.
In the past, whenever Craig was alone at home with Craig's Mum and she pretended to be asleep, Craig would just poke her or hit her gently with his hand, and sometimes not so gently, as he tried to wake her up but he has never been so brave with Craig's Dad. There have already been many times when Craig's Dad has lay down on the sofa closed his eyes straight away and Craig will be heard saying, “Daddy's sleeping.” No hitting, no poking just a little disappointment in the tone of voice.
But, on this morning Craig did something different. He had crawled over the top of his Dad and woken him up. He had seen Craig's Dad's eyes wide open. But, Craig's Dad closed his eyes quickly pretending he had gone back to sleep however, Craig's Dad was in for a surprise! A few seconds after closing his eyes there was the sound of Craig blowing raspberries with his tongue and the feeling of tiny drops of spit landing on his cheek!!
It was the very first time that Craig has displayed any sort of defiance to his Dad.
Perhaps you had to be there but it was actually quite funny. For some reason, Craig's Mum seemed to think this type of behavior made Craig a similar character to his father! It's not clear what she meant.
Later the same day, Craig and Craig's Dad had been out and about playing in a couple of parks near home but it was a stinking hot day. So, Craig's Mum went out and bought some cold drinks. Craig really liked the mango shaved ice drink that is Craig's Dad's long-time favourite.
After looking a bit cranky and hot when he first arrived home, the cold drink improved Craig's mood very quickly.
