A few quick things. David loves dressing up. We dress up as a cowboy, the Lone Ranger or a sheriff, a robot and we have dress up superhero suits - red & blue spiderman, black spiderman (new!), the Incredibles dress up (Dash or Mr Incredible), Batman (not recently). He has an action pack and ropes for climbing (just like a rope climber). This weekend we had to make a belt for gadgets (like Batman). He has been using a plastic tool handle as a sword.
We went to Anaconda which sells adventure and camping stuff - he was too little for the climbing wall, which would have been 5 or 6 metres high (and he thought it was scary) but we managed to buy some proper climbing rope, 1.25m, for a cowboy lasso. He was lassoing the door knobs last night before he went to bed.
He loves guns. When we were cleaning out the garage, dad found an old fashioned derringer replica pistol. Made in Spain, Dad thinks that uncle Bob and Auntie Jeannie gave it to 
him when he was a boy. Mde of wood and metal. It has a cocking mechanism and a wooden grip, metal barrel. David loves it. We stuck a torch on the top and it became an old fashioned light pistol. We put a paper sight/scope on it and it became an old fashioned sight pistol. This is in addition to the plastic guns (revolvers that don't revolve) that came in the cowboy/Lone Ranger packs. He loves putting holsters on, and if we don't have it, we try to make it out of paper.

Every time he gets something new, or special, he has to tell either his toys (Mum, make Ruby talk, make Terry talk) or he asks me to pretend to be Katie.
On the way to daycare, he wants me to be David, and he will be Mum. That way, he can push the lift buttons and tell me that I can't push them. Interesting, because when we roll play he tells me lots of things that I have told him, and he hasn't necessarily liked. Such as, "You can't have potato chips tonight, they are party food" "Yes, you can watch a DVD when we get home, if you are good!"
David is mostly happy and mostly good and that is wonderful. Two other cute things - he has his own words - Yesternight and Nose wax. Pretty self explanatory.
Anyway, that is all for now.
