Round and round the table,
Like a little man.
One step, two steps,
As quickly as you can.
Which of course isn’t very fast when you are just two and a half. You can get bags of fun out of chasing your sister (and being chased) round the kitchen table. Every now and then one (or both) of you is on the tricycle. Then you can run round with a cylindrical block saying tesco, tesco (I think he meant telescope not the supermarket – the clue was in the way he held it up to his eye!) Then you can get Mummy to chant your name as you race round – this is really exciting.
The evening started with wheeling in the Og-Pog and washing Daddy’s jacket. Then parking the Og-Pog in its cave and then going to get a stone to keep it safe. The Og-Pog substitute was the trolley, the cave is a kitchen chair and the stones were an almost endless procession of small building blocks. In The Night Garden has added a whole new world of games to the already fertile ground.
