Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window

[porphyry]

These are Andrew's latest toys, which, I am pleased to be able to say, he actually likes. Who knew that one would be able to get such nice things anymore?



The large one is a de Haviland Mosquito Mark VI. I was compeletely flabbergasted when I saw this one on offer on the web.

The Blue one is an F-18 Hornet painted in air-show colors, which Andrew thinks is Big Jet from the Little Eisnteins (if you don't know what that means count yourself fortunate). Big Jet is really an F-15, but since its painted blue, Andrew more easily accepts this as him than he would have the actual F-15 in the series which was painted in desert camoflage. The next one a German Comet from the War (really a rocket rather than a true aeroplane), and finally an A-10 Warthog; this he knows from a video I showed him on you-tube of an A-10 shooting up tanks on a fireing range with its gattling gun after he enquired about Big-0's gattling gun.

At that age, when one is at one's most, for want of a better word, "tigger" like, it must be torture. Good luck in managing all that pent-up energy. You must be developing the patience of saints.

Malkhos probably has more inborn patience than I do; it's more in his nature to easily acclimate himself to the patience the situation requires. The upside of this is that Andrew is more like his father temperamentally than he is like me, so overall it's caused him to cope quite well, probably better than average... he's demonstrated pretty impressive patience the way his father would.
