Future plans

There is a supermarket to which we often take the boys that has special carts with side-by-side elevated, front-facing child seats with steering wheels. These we call "race carts" of course. Now readers of this blog will already be aware of Jamie's preoccupation with wheeled vehicles, and young Connor seems to be going down the same road as it were. The boys sit up there steering happily as I bang into things (the cart is about half as long again as a regular one). I don't see them from the front too much but judging by the faces coming towards us they must look awfully cute.

This no doubt was what led Jamie to proclaim in the car yesterday that when he was bigger he would have real race car and it would have two steering wheels, one for him and one for Connor. Another future automotive plan emerges when asked what he'd like to receive on his 16th birthday. One will always receive the same answer: "A purple Audi" (see Suzanne's comment on the first blog!). I'm afraid Jamie doesn't understand about academic salaries.

My boys love the race car carts, too!! Finn cries when we take him out of it. Maybe the boys can have a racing team together when they grow up! Shake and Bake! :-) Megan
