In the Picture
This week’s Calendar Cutie is Marcus, 3 years old, who loves cars and trains and has recently expressed an interest in wearing a fluorescent tutu, tights and wellies. He hates having his hair washed or combed but likes bossing his big brother around and riding his scooter. He calls it his Volvo and insists on parking it and reversing it too.

Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com

    Hi Mesina, I know isn’t Marcus adorable. I don’t know how much he’ll appreciate the tutus and wellies thing when he’s older, but hey ;-)
