He will
be 11 on December 17th 2011, and this
wee, or rather not
so wee guy, is into 'Mechanics' big-time! Just like all
in this category, he can dismantle/reassemble the 'unsuspecting item'... and still be left with SEVERAL
bits!
He is now a competent Airline pilot, and regularly flies
various types of aircraft on MANY routes, follows ATC instructions and takes off and lands safely at the designated airports,
using the latest Microsoft 'Flight Simulator' program. [A chip off the 'very' old
block if ever there was one!
]
I do worry a little about his Internet &
Discovery Channel preferences for checking out Crash
Scenes... be it cars, planes or whatever... but mostly planes!
He has
recently become obsessed with FERRIES! [I wonder why!]
This guy however, is 'super-fit', as he attends football training sessions 5 nights a week [averaging 10 hours] AND plays on Saturdays
& Sundays, either for the 'Dumfries & Galloway' team, or for 'Stranraer Boys', 'Rephad School',
or the 'East-end' football team, as a Goal Keeper ... A VERY busy footballing
schedule!
Like his older sibling, he has
also mastered the art of'Manipulation', with one
subtle difference... NANNA is his target! ... He has a
remarkably high success rate here!
Nanna & Granddad both 'twigged'
immediately of course, and are 'Impervious' to this attempted manipulation!
(WE WISH!)
What is it about Grandchildren
that brings out the WORST in Grandparents? !!
