Lunchtime today, and here's Luca gazing up a me with his begging eyes. Just out of shot is his mum, with her hand in the "shoshlit" cupboard. Hence the polite, but rather desperate look in his eyes.
We didn't give him any "shoshlit" (chocolate to those not versed in the English to Luca translation book), and this is possibly what set him off on an (already) infamous rant. He dedided he didn't like the variety of food we presented, and decided to trash the kitchen table, throw the food around and generally tantrum "in extremis". As such he ended of the "naughty step" until he sorted himself out.
To be fair, he was tired after an excessively busy morning. The main section of which was taken up by swimming, this his first session in weeks. Reassuringly he's starting to look forward to the pool (or "big bath" as he calls it) now, and although still nervous is gaining confidence. He still won't exit my arms for a second, even in the baby pool, but as familiarity increases this will surely follow.
We haven't ventured far this weekend. Yesterday the vast majority of the day was taken up by things we've been meaning to do, but keep putting off. Namely clearing out the shed and loft. It was terrific fun (!), but gladly it's now out of the way. Luca, as per, helped throughout. He loaded my car up with the rubbish we'd accumulated, and also came up to the loft with me to reorganise that too.
I had to love and leave Carole early afternoon though, as Aberdeen had an important "New Firm" derby at home. It was a great game, but dad must now be kicking himself. He's now missed the last two games, which have accumulated a grand total of 9 goals.
Later in the evening, Carole and I watched "Wall-E" on Blu-Ray. A surprisingly affecting and issue-lead film, which had us engrossed right through to the final credits. Even the enforced delay half way through - Guthrie and Fergus pitched up to see Sima - couldn't decrease our enjoyment of a genuinely momentous piece of cinematic gold.
On the next blog I'll feature pictures of Carole modelling the new pink tiger slippers I bought her today. Do I even need to describe the look on her face as I presented them?
**Useless fact of the day - WALL-E has achieved highly positive reviews with an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. It grossed $533 million worldwide, won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, and is nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature**
