Pirate's Island

Callum has become thoroughly entranced and infatuated with all things pirates. It's really cute. It all started with Peter Pan and now it's moved on to Pirates of the Caribbean, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and all things skull and crossbones. When he sees a skull anywhere he shouts "pirate ship!! pirate ship!!" He did that to a little kid who was wearing a skull and crossbones t-shirt: he came right up to him, poked him in the chest and shouted pirate ship!! He is also completely fascinated by the crocodile. He makes his arms all big and makes a snapping movement and goes "tick tock tick tock".
We went to Babies'R'Us for diapers and Callumazoo saw a tshirt with a pirate theme and he insisted on having it. He wouldn't leave the shirt's side. So we indulged him and got it. I couldn't believe that he's not even two and he's picking out his clothes.
I just have to capture these cute things otherwise I'll forget them. I love this little boy.

So we went to Pirate Island with my mom and sister and Cal was elated. He saw Captain Hook, skulls, coins, smoke and bubbles and a pirate ship that he could play on. As if that all wasn't enough, there was an arcade with all sorts of rides and games. It was so exhilarating for him. Stimulation overload! At the end he got to trade in his tickets for a few tootsie rolls and it couldn't have been a better day for this little one.
