Travelling north today, little Iain was sitting in the back gesticulating quietly (okay, not so quietly, more talking, and pointing, to no-one in particular) to the robot that we stopped at. It was red and so drew his attention, what with the colour. There was a distinct monologue coming from the rear of the car. Quiet entertaining!

Oh! "Robot", for non-South Africans is a Traffic Light. I think "robot" is much more sensible, but then I would say that wouldn't I?!

Why are we travelling north? It's our fifth anniversary this weekend! Hard to belief so much time has passed by! Certainly doesn't seem like long at all, and it's been worth it all the way! We'll see you next week sometime.

This afternoon I was rushing off, after work, to sort out a problem with the development of a recent film. Having just arrived home, Iain was demanding I give him some attention. I grabbed the car keys, opened the door, and Iain headed straight out the door towards the gate.

When we reached the gate, Iain turned around and waved bye-bye to the house with a big smile as if to say, "I'm going with Daddy!"

We actually made it to the shop just on 17h30. Iain strained against me to get down to play with all the nice goodies ... Jessops and all those camera things. He did get to walk as soon as we left the shop, and literally ran with freedom. The small flight of steps to the left screamed, "Over here, Iain!!"

Grabbing hold of my finger, he climbed down each of the steps. He victoriously let go at the bottom of the steps. What a smile, and how curious is this little boy. We have to keep such a close eye on him all the time; he is quite the adventurer, and wonders outside on his own quite a bit.
