I have to thank who?!

It pains me to say it, but it seems I have no less than McDonalds to thank for my son improving his recollection of colours.... maybe.

They are giving away mini MP3 players that play a tune when you open them. Oliver has two: one playing McFly with a blue lid and one playing the Sugarbabes with a red lid. Having failed to grasp or even take much apparent interest in learning colours, I think this might do the trick.

I do wonder whether he is colour blind. It seems odd that he never tells us the colour of things....unless it's pink. He always knows pink!

So Ronald McDOnald, it seems that perhaps despite years railing against your alleged exploitation of the rainforests and their peoples, decimation of communities and third world economies, the general ruination of the health of the western world and most recently a disproportionate contribution to climate change, I might owe you a small thank you on the side. Just don't expect me to go large with that.
