dudelet

One problem with dudelet is his lack of any sustained capacity for amusing himself, in sharp contrast to his little sister.

I'm not saying that dudelet and I don't have a difficult relationship (I am not an easy person to live with) but after that, we had one.

Now reins were something that never worked for dudelet - he'd suffer us to put them on but utterly refused to travel in whichever direction we needed to go.

At the end of the first term, dudelet broke his leg (posts for December and January 2006 chronicle a lot of this).

So I stayed in the hospital for the eleven days dudelet was in traction, taking four hours off each day to go home, grab a shower and try to study.

Overall, though, I got to see the paintings in enough detail to form an opinion (result!), dudelette had a substantial run around in a new environment and we got back in time for lunch together with supermum and dudelet.

After an hour or two, dudelet began to call out helpful instructions to passers-by.

Dudelette languished (why are hospitals always so roastingly hot?), dudelet bounced off the walls and scurried around the ward, supermum and I fretted and various nurses and doctors came and went.

The problem was that every time they tried to so much as look at dudelet, she'd go utterly apeshit - kicking, screeching, crying, hitting and pulling at anything they tried to attach to her.

I miss music (I haven't seriously picked up a guitar since dudelet was born).
