Up and at 'em

A while ago, Ewan got pulled up at school because he didn't get dressed in time after swimming lesson and so his class missed out on a reward.   Since then we've been working on his speed-dressing skills.  This started out just being bribes basically but then his mum hit upon a great idea.   She plays him a snippet from the soundtrack or song that he's into at the time (on her cell phone) and he must be dressed before the song ends.  This works really well - he's got it down to 1 min and a few seconds (if he really goes for it).    I never know on any given morning what song she's going to play.  It could be , 'You've got to move it, move it' ; 'Scooby, Scooby Doo where are you?'  or a selection from these:

The James Bond theme
The Indiana Jones theme
Everything is Awesome
Star Wars - various themes, depending on how Luke or Darth he's feeling on the morning
Mission Impossible
Ghostbusters
Gangnam Style

I think it's so cute and really makes my day :)


And of course, today Faye comes home from her France trip - I'm sure she's going to be exhausted, can't wait to hear how it all went.  I'm going to ask her to do a blog post here to give you all her opinion of it. Her brother has missed her a lot.

Please check out the great Star Wars video below, it's awesome.
