This was a time when I went for babysitting, or should I say , little boy sitting .

Daniel is young boy of 5years waiting to reach 6years. He got me to play a board game , which he did not know the rules. As instructions were lost , neither did I know the game. So we innovated our type of game with it . We had two men on the board and cards on the side. You rolled the dice which was coloured in different sides and you moved the man to the colour shown . Cards were on the side . As each one took a card you had to act it out.

On another occasion , he was in the midst of drawing randomly .

I asked him to draw my face . I was amazed at the result . It seemed to resemble me a bit. On his own he then drew my wife’s face from memory which also looked good . They were like caricatures of us .

He is very fond of us , his grandparents, specially his ‘Avo’ his grandmother.

On his visits to our place , he has literally adopted one of the couches . He loves jumping on it like a trampoline. When his parents and siblings join us , he makes quite a fuss if others sit on this couch .

His favourite snacks are biscuits , homemade chocolate buns and Chappaties. Other than that he gives a lot of trouble to eat anything else.

He is very fond of football and loves to score goals with his left foot. He supports Celtic like his father and Liverpool because of me.

I’ve grown to love him a lot . I often wonder how his relationship will be when he grows up. Surely it will change.

Daniel loves watching ‘Mario’ episodes and star wars on tv

However, I will always treasure these memories of my’ Daniel boy’.
