My favourite one to inaugurate proceedings - Luca pulling faces on the corner of the most infamous street in Aberdeen's red light district! Fear not, as the time was barely 10am it was unlikely we'd come across any inappropriate activities. We'd taken the train into Aberdeen to visit the cinema and the reasonably significant distance between the train station and beach side cinema (surprisingly uncovered by public transport) necessitated us taking the shortest route. Considering the surprisingly hot weather endured Luca's puffed utterance of "I'm too small for this", clearly angling for me to offer a carry (an offer which wasn't forthcoming), wasn't entirely unexpected.
We had a few shops to visit after the movie ("Planet 51" - he loved it, I thought it was terrible) and of course those big brown eyes pleaded for me to supply a shiny pound coin every time we stumbled across a child ride. Being a soft touch, I often accede.
We took the bus home, but only just caught it. We'd ran the last hundred yards to the bus station, with the wee man showing surprising acceleration. The bus doors were closing as we arrived, but the driver kindly waited and allowed us to step (or in Luca's case vault) on. This was one instance (of many) where the presence of Luca was a boon. Would the driver have stopped and waited had I, a 6ft+ shaven headed lanky thug, been the only one running? Unlikely.
As you can see, the excessive walking around Aberdeen (we covered a few miles) had exhausted the boy, and he fell asleep a few times on the journey home. Perhaps we'll stick to the car until his stubby legs are a little longer!
This one was taken today, as he bravely pushed his Dad to the side and fought off the Great White Shark with his bare hands. Either that, or he was pulling a comically poor scared face as we passed an odd shopping centre mural.
The above video is so dark to upload it was almost an act of pure folly - you can't see anything besides the final three seconds. Look carefully however. This was Luca dancing to the music during the end credits of "Planet 51". Trust me on this, he really works his derriere as he jives.
The final video was taken last week. Enjoy the bit right at the end where he plays keepy-up using only his head before volleying an overhead kick into the top corner.
