Tintin

Ro currently has a fascination with Tintin, the adventurous teenage reporter/detective, and his dog, Snowy. Tintin was first published in 1929 and you might not think a soon to be five year old would be into it but Ro is hooked. Daddy has been reading Tintin comic books to Ro every night for weeks. I'm kind of shocked because I've been the preferred bedtime reader for most of Ro's life. With the advent of Tintin, Ro is suddenly all about Daddy being his bedtime reader, which I think is really nice.

Ro was carrying my small plastic watering can around the other day with it's fine curvy point stuck in his mouth. He was pretending to be Captain Haddock smoking his pipe, which was a hoot. Ro also walks around saying things like, "Blistering Blue Barnacles!!"
