"I'm a big boy - big as a grown up".

 Unfortunately he didn't have the even temper of a grown up today so it was a long hard haul with many break-downs and upsets. He had trouble with his syringe, had trouble steering his digger, complained baby brother crying made his ears hurt, didn't want pretty much anything at the time I was prepared to give it to him.

 We did have a nice chat about his rattletrap car book. Jack suggested Fireman Sam should rescue the petrol tank that fell off. He said he "need a ladder"
