well, today seems to have been a memorable day for James, as he combined to of his great interests into one class thing today - dinosaurs and crashing toy cars into each other!
here he is with something called the Raptor Rampage jump, made by those miniature toy car specialists Hot Wheels. as ever, he is not all that keen on posing for the camera, so forgive the angles!
it is a rather smart toy, and James has spent a good couple of hours today shoving his cars into the dinosaur's mouth and watching them shoot out the, ahem, other end! it has not become his entire day, though - he managed to fit in a shopping trip with me, and a visit to Ouma and Uncle Dylan with Mummy. both were fun; with me he ate half a donut and half a bread roll as i pushed him around in the trolley, with Mummy he played with Dino toys with Uncle Dylan for a good couple of hours - and no doubt gave Ouma a rather long story!!
there has been some progress with James and Elvis too, to make it all the more special a day. i played him a clip of Viva Las Vegas, and it lasted a good 10 - 15 seconds before he screamed to put it off. with a final throw of the dice, i put on Return To Sender by The King, and i am delighted to report that he did not scream "no! no Elvis!" and just about lasted the whole song.
for the record, currently Top of the Pops for James is Magic Dance by David "Derek" Bowie, as performed by the great one in the film Labyrinth. i get to sing along, and indeed i get to jump up and down with James at the appropriate times during the song.
hope you all had an ace weekend too!!!!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
