A Boy And His Mum Do Sports Day And The Razzle Dazzle

Two weeks ago today, June 8 2017, was sports day at Tom's school and I am eager to attend, so every year I make sure I go. It is not because we are a sporty family, but because I like to see Tom try his best and he did. On this occasion Rachel and I were a bit unsure of the weather, so with coats on we went to cheer our boy and his classmates on.

Sports days have definitely changed since I was a child. Gone are some of the races I remember, three legged race and wheel barrow race to name but two. In are team events and the winner of the sports day is not an individual child, it is the house team that has accumulated the most points over the afternoon. I must admit I prefer it this way. This way no child will feel bad if they do not win a race. 

As ever Tom and his team did their best and as parents that is all we can ask. Well done Tom and well done to Tom's house team, Team Dempsey.

The highlight of the day was not sports day for Tom. It was a date night for Tom and his Mum, they were going on the razz, on the razzle dazzle.

Tom loves a bit of music that he can sing along to and he is heavily influenced by Rachel. He loves musicals and music from shows. Currently he has been loving the music from Les Miserable and Abba. But his current fave has to be Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Tom loves their music and every opportunity he has to listen to them he does, singing or just listening along. Even Tom's school friends love the music now too!!!

As a treat we bought tickets for a cover band that played The Four Seasons music at a local venue. Rachel and Tom met up with our friend Jan, Lady Morrell. Also in attendance in the audience were Nanny O and some of her gang of friends, Tom met up with them at half time and after the show. 

Tom loved it, Rachel loved it, Lady Morrell loved it, Nanny O and all her friends loved it!!! The only one that did not love it was me, because I was at home washing my car....

I love Tom's enthusiasm for fun and music. On his date night he got to display both and had a great time. Don't ever loose your sense of fun Tom or the sparkle in your eye.
