Just goes to show you, it's always something.
Over the last 3-4 days, my household has been o'errun with sniffles of the not-quite-cold variety. A little sneezy, a little stuffy...that sort of stuff. As a consequence, NTS (the lightest sleeper of us) has been particularly insomniacal. Two nights ago, I hear rattling and movement and such coming from the direction of the family room at 3am. At first, when awakened so suddenly, one supposes "burglar!" until your brain grinds to life and you realize 1) you'd've heard the burglar enter, and 2) burglars generally don't turn on the TV to enjoy a bit of their favorite programming.
It was in fact, NTS. He had assembled several effects (including a toddler's rocking chair!) to allow him to climb up* to turn on the DVD player and press "play." His new favorite TV series? Jeeves & Wooster. This is pretty impressive stuff, but to those who know the sort of seven year-old NTS is, it's simultaneously hilarious and perplexing.

He reckoned he would get away with that particular venue. Smart, verrrrrrry smart of NTS.
I've been sick all week with pharangytis - and subsequent side-effects of the drugs. J is one today and is now coughing up a lung. He just spewed in his bed.
Ahhhh, don't you love the smell of life in the morning.
