Sunshine Sanctuary

I may have posted this already, but one the way to nursery one day we passed a big pit boarded over. I mentioned to little bear that a dragon may live there. This may have been a mistake, as little bear did not want to walk past the pit thank you so much mother, it may be a bit scary.

Sigh. The nursery is literally a few hundred yards away from us. We cross a busy road at a zebra crossing, which is very necessary as the road is very busy, then walk past the dragon pit and on to the nursery. Little bear is not impressed.

I did try to persuade him that Daddy had bopped the dragon on the nose, and the dragon had run away, but this had a lukewarm reception. Little bear can believe in dragons he has not seen, but obviously has doubts about his father bopping a dragon unless he saw it for himself.

On the way back from the doctors on Monday we passed a similar pit. I suggested to little bear that rabbits may live down there. He gave me a 'who do you think you are kidding?' look.

Well, today after a long break he finally managed to go to nursery, walked past the dragon pit with no more than a cautious glance and I breathed a sigh of relief.
