We went to granny’s house this morning. While we were there, she gave Oscar a stress ball in the shape of Santa. He didn’t really know what it was, so she explained it to him:
‘When you get stressed, you squeeze the stress ball and it makes you feel better.’
Brilliantly simple.
We were leaving the house to go and run some errands, and he did not want to come with me, naturally preferring to stay behind with his granny, who lets him do cool things and eat coco pops and shoot the four year old breeze.
I said:
‘Oscar. Just get your coat on. You are really stressing me out now.’
He ran off, came back with the stress ball and squeezed it hard in my general direction, saying:
‘There mama. Don’t you feel better now?’

He does try to be loving in his own, Oscarish way.

He is rather good. I put it down to his parentage!
