Hans the Hunstman - Update
Hans the huntsman finally re-surfaced.
I put off doing the washing for as long as humanly possible but after we'd all been forced to wear yesterday's undies had to finally arm myself with a pair of long-handled-barbecue tongs and shake it all out before loading up the washing machine. Three loads later and no sign of Hans. I assumed he'd met his destiny in one of Jacob's jean's pockets full of sand and pebbles.
Until last night when Jacob, during his evening bath, splashed water on some of his trucks waiting on the side of the bath sorround and Hans emerged, grumpy and six-legged, but triumphant, from underneath.
Jacob took it very well for a three-year old suddenly finding himself having a bath with a cranky huntsman. No screaming, no hysterics, just "Mama, mama, spin, spin, spin". Hans, we decided had to be re-located. His new enthusiasm for mobility stretching our hospitality just a bit too far.
Besides, he's obviously more than capable of looking after himself, after all.
