Discussion topics were fairly limited given the central theme for life, this week, was water.
'Mummy, I gonna play in water this week!'
'Yes Baby, I know...'
'But not today.'
'No, Baby, not today - you'll have water play in 3 days/on Thursday/tomorrow...'
'Can't swim in our pool - it's gone YUKKY!'
'Yep, sure has, but the pool man is fixing it this week so we can swim soon.'
'Mummy swim too?'
'I'll come swimming too, I promise.'
'Mummy have water play at her work?'
'No, I don't get to have water play - that's something special just at your daycare.'
'Poor Mummy...your work is dry.'
I was then given a dramatic hug, in obvious sympathy of my dry workplace.
If only she knew how true her words were.
Working appeal would obviously improve drastically with the installation of a sprinkler and slip'n'slide within my office.
