The Quiet Life

Craig's life has settled into a routine. Monday to Friday he spends the morning with Craig's Dad before arriving at kindy in time for lunch. Craig's Mum picks him up in the afternoon and he is sometimes already in bed when Craig's Dad arrives home from work. The upshot is that the amount of time that Craig spends with two parents to attend to him has been dramatically reduced.

Sometimes, on Saturday he can have his Mum read a story to him while Dad is on standby to play games.

Craig is very particular about how the story should be read.

On Thursdays, Craig's Mum and Dad can pick Craig up from kindy and everyone can walk home together.

Craig is always in a good mood at those times.

Craig has also learned how to recharge his mobile phones.

Recent bad weather has meant that most mornings are spent at home with Craig's Dad but a few days have been dry enough to allow Craig to play outdoors.

Craig's quiet life has included dinner downstairs on the second floor almost every night. He's normally quite happy with that because he can play with his cousins after dinner. There's some good things about living quietly.
