The Flashy Builder

I was surprised one day (early in November, if memory serves) to receive a package from Alec's Grampie containing two shirts and one pair of pants - all Bob the Builder themed. Alec was immediately enthralled with the pocket-tractor that accompanied on the outfits, and also showed interest in pointing to the characters on the shirts and asking their names. Then he asked to wear the shirt (highly unusual as he strongly prefers au natural).

Two weeks later (during which time he has been wearing the shirts in heavy rotation) I peeked my head in his closet as ask the question (rhetorical, or so I thought) "what will you wear today?", to which Alec replied "Bob". I was amazed (not even knowing that he could say it).

His his love affair with the flashy Builder and his handsome shirts continues to this day.
