sons and fascination

What is it with toddler boys and experimentation? Snicket is obsessed with tying one object to the next and then trying to hoist the bizarre looking convoy around the house. This morning I cam down to discover him sat on his wheely bug tugging two toy vacuum cleaners, a foot stool, and wooden tractor and my best headphones round the house creating a wave of mutilation in his wake.

Otherwise, my hearing has returned in my right ear. By contrast, I feel quite deaf in my grommet-less left. I think it's a case of getting used to and once I've stopped falling over that's what I intend to do.
