Nobody Will Be Able To Resist This Smile

Scott's looking very pleased that he's managed to get his bowl upside down. Either his breakfast is finished or when that bowl gets moved there's going to be an inviting pile of gunge to throw all over the kitchen. With a smile like that though, Scott can get away with anything.

No, I'm Not Asleep

You can lead a small boy to a cot, but you can't make him lie down and sleep. I'd guess by the big smile on Scott's face here that nobody has tried to make him sleep yet. Either that or he woke up on the incredibly right side of the bed.

An Apple A Day

Healthy eating Scott likes nothing better than a nice piece of fruit or an oatcake (or biscuit as Scott calls them) to fill a hole between meals. Truth be told, he'd much prefer a chocolate flake or a piece of cake. With his nearly full set of teeth Scott can happily munch his way through a whole apple though. Either that or mum and dad are going to find a lot of half eaten apples discarded around the house in coming months.

Billy Elliot

All this boy needs is a mirror and he'll be doing a pirouette or pas-de-deux in no time. He's so supple at the moment he could easily keep his leg straight and get his foot in his mouth. Presumably this is a talent he has in common with most children of his age.

Watching The Match On The Telly

Scott's not hugely interested in the TV, but he does seem very attracted to it when the football is on. Unfortunately for his dad, he has a habit of standing right in front of the screen and shouting "BALL" a lot. A particularly annoying habit when the screen is so small. Scott does like to clap along with fans from both sides whenever anything good happens.

Naked Romps In The Landing

This must have been an escape bid before Scott was dumped in his evening bath. Whatever, Scott is looking rather pleased with himself here. Maybe it's just because he knows that he's going to leave a large, greasy bum mark on that landing carpet.

Dangerous Driver

This is at a service station somewhere on the M6. Scott was being driven down to London by grandma Rachel so he could avoid the traumas of post-Hatfield train travel and this is where he first encountered the joys that can be had from riding a small, motorised car. This has lead to Scott discovering what money is for (motorised cars outside Safeway and in Chorlton precinct) and demanding it often.
