A tale from the #landofcute for Peter Diane Marriott in honour of her Birthday.

This past December I introduced Marcus to “Sid the Science Kid” videos. It was love at first sight for all of us. It is a great animated show that teaches little kids about subjects like friction, elasticity, and temperature. As we were walking around our hotel in Jamaica Marcus stopped Gary and I and said.
“I have an observation to make”
In great anticipation Gary and I stopped to listen.
“Since we have been walking around the hotel I have seen two maps. They show you where to go. Yep, I am just an everyday science kid making observations”

Ya know, in that moment we were both completely unprepared for that level of cute, and the only way I can describe how Gary felt was by the look on his face that I had never seen before. It was this delicious combination of utter jubilation and complete pride that I will never forget.

I love listening to the radio with Marcus in the car. Our latest adventures in music have been very eclectic indeed. Here are the 4 songs 4 year old Marcus chose when I pressed the scan button. When he heard a song he liked he would say “Stop”

First song- I shit you not, he chose the Beastie Boys

2. “It Must Have Been Love” by the Roxettes

3. An East Indian house/dance track that we both seat danced to along the 401.

4. Last song choice- Ben Hepner “Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg”

So fun.
