Beano Day Rituals

Back in April Cameron spent his birthday money on a subscription to the Beano and it is still a huge hit.
The comic usually arrives a good 4 days before it's out in the shops which makes Cameron feel very special and each day when the postman arrives he's chomping at the bit to find out if it's Beano day or not.
When the comic finally arrives there are little rituals Cameron has in place for enjoying reading it and trying out whatever plastic tat toy they've put on the front. Over the summer he's been migrating out to the little back yard and setting up a little comfy place for him and his teddy friends. It doesn't matter what's going on in the world at that moment - the Beano has arrived and Cameron gets completely lost in Beano town as he drinks in every last word.




Later on in the day he will come to me with random questions, usually about a turn of phrase he hasn't heard of before or something. Perhaps the next day he will start playing pranks and "dodges" on me that he's read about in the comic - it really keeps me on my toes sometimes!
Over the rest of the week Cameron will tell me some of the little stories or will have picked up a little saying that he repeats over and over again.
Definitely money well spent!

  1. Sounds good. Ours have never got that much worth out of mags/ comics which I think is rather a shame.
