The Terror of the Tellytubbies !

Ben is all better now, he has finished his course of Amoxicillin and appears to have made a full recovery. No more bulgy bits.

I now have a new problem to deal with.......

Harry & Ben have discovered the Teletubbies ! - I switched over to CBeebies just after they had breakfast, hoping to find something to keep them quiet and to keep them sitting still until their food had gone down, before I let them out to play.

Unfortunately the Teletubbies were on and it was like magic, they loved them. So now I have to suffer the brain melting rubbish that is the Teletubbies every morning. Still they like it.

The other problem is that Harry & Ben want to get as close to the TV as possible, which it not a good thing for several reasons. They try and grab the Video player, DVD player, the pile of electrical wires round the back of the TV and the hot radiator which is in that corner as well. Also it can't be good for their eyes to be that close to the TV (or is that an old wives tale ?)

So in order to combat this I had to create 'THE BOX' (queue drum roll). This is a long wooden frame construction with a blanket fixed round it. This blocks off the corner where the TV is and keeps them at a safe distance. But as it turns out it has also helped them 'cruise' they stand up next to the toy box (which is on the fire place keeping them out of the fire etc) and then they walk round holding onto the toy box until they get to the wooden box I made. They then hold on to this and walk along until they get to the play pen and plastic Fisher Price crawl arch play centre thingy. Here they get down and crawl back to the toy box and start all over again.

Here is a photo of Harry & Ben getting goggled eyed during the Teletubbies:
