for my happy birthday i want...

My Micah is a particular little man. Having an older brother and sister in Zac (13yo) and Shani (10yo) his love of toys is a little different to other boys his age. Micah is turning 3 in just over a week. And he's been giving us a list of all the things he wants for his "happy birthday". Most of all he wants his own Green Lantern and Flash - that "stand up, just like this" and he stands with his feet together and his legs straight.

Hilarious. Zac has very sweetly bequeathed some of his superheroes to Micah, but Mikey gets frustrated if they don't stand up just right.  I know it's part of his "first born" personality, but my goodness, it concerns me about what a particular child he might become. He certainly has to have his socks on just right, and his pants... "mummy, they're a bit weird, can you please fix it?" a refrain I hear quite often in any given week. we mostly go bare foot at the moment, takes away form the sock issue, and being summer he's in shorts during the day, and the long pants thing is more a night issue!

Sweet, sweet particular boy.
