Dentist

Little bear attended the dentist today. I was so grateful, OH gave us a lift as it was a really early appointment and it is an awkward place to get to. Little bear was so good - he didn't need any work (despite his best efforts with juice and sugary things) and he was so well behaved that he got an extra balloon, which he lost on the bus.

Then we went into town. Little bear was absolutely bereft - the merry go round wasn't working. However he came home with a yoyo, a flashing car and a new watch so it wasn't a dead loss. The old watch had broken last night and he was very unhappy as he likes to wear a watch. He can't tell the time, but that's not the point. This was an uber inexpensive one with a plastic strap and a picture of a train. The old one was a Tatty Teddy one that darling father purchased. Not only was the strap looking extremely second hand but the watch glass was opaque through severe working. The pin that held the strap on the watch went, and I took the opportunity to say, let's replace. He got the yoyo as out of nowhere he suddenly declared his heart's desire was for a yoyo and he couldn't live without one. He is managing to almost yoyo it, better than I can manage, though darling father has helped. The car was demonstrated at the market stall where we got the yoyo. It flashes and if you shake it the thing runs by itself.

A bit of a clutterbust fail really. The old watch is going out but we are still up a yoyo and a flashing car. Sigh.
