Quick update
So it has been a fun few weeks here -- Cian has kept us both entertained and exhausted.
Two funny tales to tell in fact...
The first one is one I am almost reluctant to tell about -- I can only imagine the abuse that'll come my way.
(Note -- read on only if you are somewhat familiar with my taste in English football)
After watching Chelsea and ManU play in the Community (when did they stop calling it the Charity Shield?) Shield last week -- Cian and I went off to play soccer in the local park. Needless to say he wanted to role play -- but the heartbreaking thing was that he wanted to be Ryan Giggs when he played.
*GULP*
Knowing it was only a fleeting burst of insanity, we swopped roles and he wanted to be a goalkeeper (it has to be Lehmann, right?). "No, no, no Dad. I want to be Van Der Saar".
Jesus.
How the hell am I supposed to handle that one (aside from pretending to be Van Persie and score a hat-trick on him...)?????
Anyway, I suppose it could've been worse -- he could have wanted to be a Chelsea player.
And no, I don't need any youth sized ManU shirts sent my way thank you very much.
On a more "natural" note... He has been tending to some gardening recently and this is year #2 of his tiger lilly. He is pretty proud of it. Here are some shots...
(No smart arsed comments about lillies and ManU either, please)...
