Kachow!

Lightning McQueen. Not since Herbie has a race car been so popular with kids, and this morning Lightning is the order of the day. Mr 3 was given 'Mac' the truck for Christmas, and has acquired various other characters from the movie in the four months since then.

It appears to be reenactment day at our house today. It's raining again, so outside activities are on standby, and Mr 3 is busy lying on the lounge room floor (one of his favourite spots) reenacting a scene from the Cars movie. It's the part where McQueen falls out the back of the truck. He's got it down pat, he has a mega memory, my son, and could very well make a good actor himself one day as studying scripts won't be a problem if his short term memory stays as fantastic as it is at age three.

I have often wondered (as I'm sure most parents do) when I see him playing, what he will become as a man. Will he follow in his fathers footsteps and be mechanically minded? Will he be artistic or musical like me? Will he make a career of some job that hasn't even been invented yet? I guess only time will tell, at present, he's going to drive a really really really big truck, a Mac, with 3 steps, to his work, and park it up, and fix cars.

Ah the world in the eyes of a three year old...

Kachow!
