For some unknown reason James has started calling all his little people "Mick" ... I have absolutely no idea why he's chosen this name ... When I asked him what his first construction worker was called he said "Mick". Took me by surprise but fair enough. THen the next one? "Mick" and then the final one "He's called Mick, isn't it?!"
This led to a really funny conversation with Grandma a few days later involving some more of the Fisher Price people ... He insisted they were ALL called Mick and Grandma couldn't persuade him to call them anything else.
So trying a different tactic Grandma said "Where's Jim?" ...
James: Where's Jim gone? Where's he gone?
Grandma: (holding up a different Fisher Price person) Is this Jim?
James: No. That's Mick. Where's Jim? Where's Jim?
Grandma: (holding up another different Fisher Price person) Is this Jim?
James: No. That's Mick. Where's Jim? Where's Jim?
Grandma: Well, what does Jim look like?
James: He looks like Mick ....
At which point Mummy and Grandma totally lost it!! It was VERY funny!
James kept exclaiming "Hayley's got a hat on!!!" He was so excited to see his long-distance love. ;0)
They walked down the aisle to "I'm forever blowing bubbles" which is Mark's football team's song and outside they had bubble machines going. It was a brilliant idea! Lisa is allergic to flowers and so she had a bouquet that was all silver and sparkly. It looked really good.
But at least he was man enough to hold it for me ... unlike Dan!!!
Don't drop him!!!
Not all James' little people are called Mick ... When I asked what these ones were called he said (without any prompting from me - I promise!) "Bruce and Don" ... Not sure why the cross-looking ones are named after people we know ....
