Something you'll have to wait for

This is the time of the year when children across the world are waiting for Father Christmas to arrive (we're well into single figures in terms of sleeps left now kids).

Meanwhile, parents are waiting for lots of different things. Gifts ordered online for spouses but which haven't yet arrived. Many (meany) parents are simply waiting for the entire festive season to be over (boo you!) And Vanessa and I are waiting to catch our son's new party trick on camera.

Yes folks, Jamie can now do the actions to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Well, he could yesterday morning. And he could do it particularly impressively on Tuesday, both at nursery and at home before bedtime. So, last night, I thought I'd get the camera out and capture his routine for posterity.

But, save for a single point from him to indicate, "Up above the world so high," he wasn't for playing (have a look for yourself).

However, his mother and I will keep at the coaching (and the bribing) and hopefully we'll be able to get it on film and release it globally on DVD in time for Christmas. Or perhaps I'm just talking complete and utter rubbish and had nothing better to tell you or show you today.
