He's very safety conscious... 

willing gets buckled up in his carseat,

only sits in the shopping trolleys with seatbelts in working condition

(Yes, he got into a trolley recently with a buckle only on one side

and insisted on changing trolleys) and

will look for his helmet before getting on his bicycle.

growing train network

This photo is added to give you an idea of how extended his train network currently is.

lolly reward

After his Havrix shot, he proudly told Dr Koh, "No pain!"

I suppose in his case, no pain is gain as he was given this lolly

which has some lazer light at the top

as a reward for being so brave at the clinic.

dunno which he prefers...

... taking pictures or...

... having his picture taken?

we are raising a wonderful boy!

Hugh was playing in his playroom and Mummy was watching TV in the lounge room when she sneezed... moments later the boy ran into the lounge room and said, "Bless you, Mummy!"

No words can describe how Mummy felt :)
