July has been a long month for Luca, and the cracks are beginning to show. The itinerary was as follows:-
Week 1 - Grandma Liz up to stay
Week 2 - Visiting family in Lincolnshire
Week 3 - Cousin Ben up to stay
Week 4 - Visits from Great Aunt Mary and Uncle Brian
As good as it was for him (and us) the loss of routine, allied to his natural "show off" tendencies has resulted in his worst behaviour in.......I can't remember how long. Following a major earthquake, tremors continue to impact for some time time after. As his behaviour is proving comparable, it's doubly apt that he's kindred to a force of nature.
In preference to dwelling on his behaviour, I'll instead reminisce and revoke memories of some of the brighter moments he's produced this month. The two pictures above illustrate both his fascination with his walking, talking "Elmo" toy, and his fear. I caught these just as the toy waved its arms in the air, causing a panicking Luca to instinctively throw himself backward onto his bed.
And here he is playing Air Hockey with Cousin Ben. Despite Ben's best efforts to throw the game Luca still couldn't win, with his sloth like reflexes not boding well for a future sporting career.
His Great Uncle Brian proved an idiom of confusion, as Luca struggled to work out how best to deal with the most recently met member of his family. "The tears are coming" grumbled his Grandad as Luca's laughs and squeals grew ever more manic.
The blog will return to it's normal level of irreverence (and irrelevance....) over the coming days as life - and Luca - revert to their original flow. In the interim, Luca wishes you goodnight in the video below:-
**Useless fact of the day - Yemen has a population of 23,822,783. About 45% of the population live below poverty line and the unemployment rate hovers at 35%**
