Ha! Got him. I knew it wouldn't take long for me to trap him into an impossible decision. Daddy, you are predictable. I am lucky though as I was burn almost 2 years ago so I didn't have to wait too long. Now, the game is afoot, literally too I guess.
Is he going to let me watch the World Cup?

So far, I have not really been near the TV nor had much interaction with screens at all. Sometims I get to chat with my uncle @galenkp, who is travelling around England at the moment but will be in Finland to visit me soon. Daddy thinks small children don't need a digital babysitter and I have to say (without knowing) that I think it is true. I get to spend a lot of time with mummy and daddy and time by alone to occupy my little mind (big personality) with toys, crayons and my abacus. I sound like a nerd.
But, with the World cup on in Russia at the moment and daddy being a little jealous of @anomadsoul being able to travel and enjoy it live, he wants to spend at least some time watching a few of the games... too easy.
My plan is this:
- Ask daddy to kick the ball on the field with me.
- Score goals, raise my hands and shout Sccooooore!!
This should raise the feeling's of fatherly pride + be a reminder of the Football. (It is about stacking emotions)
- Inside, take the dog's toy balls and kick them around the house toward the TV
- Tell mummy loudly "Daddy, smallsteps kicked the ball," over and over.
- Sit on the couch with puppy dog eyes and the ball on my lap
He will cave an say "Ok, just this once," and his reign of TV dictatorship will come to an end. I will be watching Anime and Disney in no time.
Okay, maybe not but I think it might be nice for daddy and mummy to sit down and watch some games together but the problem is that there is no babysitter at the moment and the games are during the day.
I know! Perhaps if the weather is good on the weekend, mummy and daddy can take me to my first Bar and we can sit and all have a cider together!!
I think I will have to wait until at least the next World cup for that....
