Sports day and Pin Ups!!

It was Little Prince's very first school Sport's Day today. He was a little star and won all his races :-) His first race was a sprint - he won easily and didn't even look like he was trying!! The next race was the bat and beanbag (egg and spoon for little ones) and he said he wasn't very good at this one in practice - but he stormed over the finish line well in front of everyone else. The final race was the hat and bag race (run - put on a hat - run - pick up a bag - run to finish) and once again he was miles ahead of the rest. One of the teachers even jokingly told us off for training him lol. Its me that needs the training to try and keep up with him!! Its quite a change for me as a cheerleading parent to be cheering a winner, as Little Miss Sensible and Drama Teen are athletically challenged!! After their races the nursery teacher presented each child with a certificate for being 'Sporting Super Stars' and Little Prince definitely is :-) He was more interested in the sweets the teacher gave them than the certificate!! After we got home we had to explain to Little Prince that he had won all his races, he thought that as the children had been split into small groups and each race was run 3 times, once with each group - his group being second, that his group had lost!! He was elated to know that he had WON :-) He is highly competitive!! I can see years of standing on the sidelines of sports fields cheering him on, ahead of me :-)


Now on to pin ups!! Little Prince has his first celebrity crush!!! He is in love with Daff-a-nee (Daphne from Scooby Do!!). He kisses her picture in his Scooby Do colouring book, and tells me all seriously 'I LURVE Daff-a-nee' Oh dear! I thought I was the only woman in his life - I don't think I'm ready for a rival just yet!!! We think he has been watching too much Scooby Do recently though!! He was playing hide and seek with Little Miss Sensible and The Boyfriend - and decided to hide in the utility room. Rustling and clunking was heard from the utility room (and just to check he hadn't decided to hide in the freezer AGAIN!!) LMS asked what he was doing?? Blocking the door came the reply. LMS opened the door to find it 'barricaded' with the mop bucket and juices boxes!! It also exposed the flaw in Little Prince's logic - the door opened the other way!!! It does show he is bright and imaginative though :-)
