A fascination for Cars!

A boy and his fascination for cars is common knowledge, but the extent to which this love goes is beyond comprehension.

We have a collection of cars, all possible types of car, big car, small car, remote control car, push cars, all possible colour cars.The drawers and toy baskets are spilling with cars. Anywhere around the house you can spot a random car, on the bed, on the sofa, in the kitchen...

At 5, these children know all car logos, can compare cars and also have an opinion on which car to buy.

On birthdays the best gift is considered to be a car, other toys discarded as too complex to play.

The favourite films feature exclusive flying cars in cool sleek colours.

Reaction on seeing cars vary from awesome to aww to superb or its soo cool...

Its just some in built gene in them that attracts them to cars and all things associated with it.

A known joke is how the boy dotes over his prized possession and willingly breaks up with the girl who makes him choose between the car & her. No second thoughts here 😀!

A New Year Gift

My little one is an extremely appreciative boy. He thanks you from the heart for all the little things you do for him. And these are genuine heartfelt thank you messages that he conveys.

As the new year started we walked down to the nearest toy store to pick up gifts for his friends birthday.

In all innocence he promises me that there will be no tantrums for any toys for himself as he has just got a Christmas gift but asks me for permission to touch  and checkout the toys.

Knowing fully that he really wants to buy some new little car toy for himself I take him along.

Very happily he explores the store showing me things he likes, telling me of the different occasions I can buy it for him but never once insisting to buy one right away.

As I pick up a couple of toy cars and ask him which one he wants he squeals with joy asking me if there is a occasion to buy it now.

I tell him it's a New Year Gift and delighted he picks one.

On our way back home, he looks up to me smiling and asks me..." Can you see the smile reaching all the way upto my cheeks?" As I nod my head and acknowledge he let's me know it's the happiness he feels for having me as mummy ☺
