May need a hat

Little bear went to a birthday party Saturday morning. It was at a soft play, and he had a ball. However the big thing about it for little bear was, and I quote, 'it's a birthday party for my girlfriend from nursery'.

They both looked really happy to see each other - she is now turned four and he is nearly five so that cruel fate and the education system have wrenched them apart. The little girl is still at nursery. Next year they will be probably at the same school, but different playgrounds. The cruel twists of fate that keep them apart.

Little bear asked OH what to do if the little girl held his hand. OH said, seriously, that little bear should squeeze it really gently. 'I couldn't do that!' little bear said, shocked.

I should add that he has told us very seriously that he is going to marry the little girl, and also told the lady who sold him the present we chose for the little girl. According to the little girl's very nice mum, she has also declared that she will marry little bear.

It may be a bit early to start talking hats, but they just seemed really happy playing with each other that I am happy to just accept that they have phrased a friendship in an odd way, and I'll get in touch with the little girl's mum to arrange playdates for them.
