Baby's first...Gold Star

The little fella got his first Gold Star yesterday at nursery. I have no idea, nor do I care, how this rates with when others get their first Gold Star. All I care about is he got his, and that makes me proud.

We have noticed a little obsessive compulsive disorder about him, particularly when it comes to brushes. If our brush is out he's at the kitchen floor (shame his mother isn't the same), usually trying to sweep his dad out of the room (shame his mother is the same). And it was an incident with a couple of brushes that earned him his Gold Star. Staff at nursery had the brushes out, a couple were left lying somehere. Someone found them, picked them up, and put them away. No prompting, not part of the current activities. Someone got a Gold Star for it.

The other Gold in his life is also verging on becoming an obsession - Gold Fish. Every morning he's looking at the window to one of the older kids rooms to see the "fssshhh" in the fake fish tank. He likes this equally as the real fish tank, which they had in toddlers on Tuesday night & Wednesday morning. We have been looking at small fish tanks to satisfy his obsession, and one of the staff said they were thinking about asking us if we wanted the fish given his fascination, but the baby room were going to take them. Oh well, at least we're not the only ones picking up on his obsessions!

I think it's time to go back to Deep Sea World. What are we doing this weekend????
