International diamond thief…to be?

Looks pretty innocent doesn’t he? All blonde curls and ‘what? little me?” Don’t be deceived.
Today this 4 year old managed to reprogramme the safe in our hotel room (in itself an impressive feat), keep quiet about it, describe his new code (which we ignored even though we know he has excellent memory), allowed us to call the hotel engineer to break in to the safe, allow said engineer to be entirely puzzled by the whole thing and shuffle off looking for another piece of equipment….at which point MrSpud decided to give it a go with the newly programmed code said 4 year old had mentioned in passing and entirely dismissed by us at the time…et VOILA. The saafe opened. Embarrassed engineer was stood down foxed by a pre-schooler.
So, Bertie broke in to the safe, reprogrammed it, remembered the 6 digit number and told us the number accurately.
Brilliant. If only we’d have believed him. It would have spared a lot of blushes [ours].
Just another day is Chez Spud Travel Disaster Land.
Bwahaha! Our Vlad went through a lock phase… we even have an old fashioned safe in our house. I had to write down all the combinations to all the locks so we wouldn’t run into the same issues. Vlad would be so proud of Bertie!
The brilliant mind of a 4 year old should never be underestimated.
On that note, I’ve underestimated my own children’s minds several times over. Yikes! :)
Genius! When they make ‘The Italian Job 3′ I hope they look him up for technical expertise.
And is that him browsing your travel guide? Jeez, you’re going to have to keep an eye on that one xx
Yes, he is brilliant, a genius with numbers…and gorgeous to boot. You must be so proud!
I have one of these too. He takes things apart and tells me how they would be put together better (I am afraid to say I am not smart enough to know if he is right) when he puts them that way – when I allow him (toys not remotes or phones thank you) he is right. I am in trouble, big trouble.
Spies living a life of intrigue
wow, I’m super impressed with bertie’s safe cracking skills! I think he’s more Oceans (err…where are we up to now?) 22 than The Italian Job though. A bit cooler and a chance for aunty Lyanne to jump Brad, George and whatever other young hunk they’ve cast!

Oh – this is what I LOVE about kids…when it happens to other people that is…not when mine does stuff like that!
Dying laughing here. What a brilliant little curly boy you are raising, my friend.
Fantastic – one clever boyo !
