The Running Man

Tom has been fascinated by green exit signs for several weeks now. Whenever we go in a building, he looks about for the green sign and excitedly shouts out "It's a running man!" in a loud voice when he sees one (slightly embarrassing when he spotted one in the library!). Tom is so enamoured of them that Mark bought one for him today and we stuck it above the door in his bedroom. At bedtime, we told him we had a surprise for him in his room. He's old enough to know what a surprise is and he went upstairs pretty sharpish!

"A RUNNING MAN!"

His face when he saw the sign was a picture! He is absolutely thrilled with it. "Is it a present for me?" he asked. When we told him that, yes, it was his very own running man to keep, he asked, "Is it my birthday?".

The only downside to the sign is that it now looks like we are renting student accommodation!

Lol! Hopefully minus the empty beer cans, abandoned notes and underwear stashed under the bed!
