Ian visited today - it was brilliant. Little bear was not well, really, but was delighted by the gifts brought.
It was a lovely, relaxing day, with little bear in a reflective mood and quite happy to sit in his imagination, the sun beating in through the windows in the afternoon (though not the morning), and everyone relaxed. Tea worked, it all went calmly.
Little bear was showing off his new cars. He referred to the Lotus Esprit Bond car as a 'swimming car' and wanted to put it in water. I did not want to have to deal with rust issues later, so was saying that putting it in the sink was absolutely not allowed. 'You can't put it in the sink,' Ian said reasonably. 'What if it went down the plug hole?'. Little bear considered this. 'I put the plug in.' he announced firmly.
Among the wonderful gifts for little bear was a pack of soap crayons, to use in the bath. Little bear was not impressed at this idea. Getting him into the bath and getting him out of it are equally impossible. However he had considered various options. 'Use them in the sink.' he announced. 'And in the bath.' 'No, just in sink, sink crayons...'
Little bear was very clean for his bedtime routine because the bath crayons do indeed work in the sink.

I'm very glad Little Bear liked the crayons. I see you eventually gave in and let him use them in the sink. I'm just glad I got him something that captured his imagination. I'm afraid this uncle followed the example of others and spoiled him outrageously by buying him a Fireman Sam Mountain Rescue play set (with accompanying helicopter of course). He seemed fascinated by Tom Thomas going up and down stairs and in and out of doors.
Well, he wasn't well, and anything that distracts him and entertains him will hopefully help. He hasn't figured it out yet, but I'm sure he soon will, that Uncle Ian is a complete softie. Evil Cat already knows this and worked it out within 5 seconds.
It was wonderful having you here - come back soon! WS x
