My 2 1/2 year old grandson chomped up two or three of his mum's Nurofen tabs (can hardly blame him as they look like those fruity sweeties he is given...) We thought/hoped he spat them out sharpish when the taste hit, checked with a local medic who pretty much shrugged his shoulders and said not to worry, so we didn't worry. Good thing the latest news about Nurofen Plus hadn't hit the headlines!

Theo, the great experimenter, has been known to eat worm tablets brought in for the dogs, and to climb the staircase on the outside of the bannisters until he got to the top, about 8 ft above a tiled floor, where, not quite knowing how to reverse, he hung for some time, like a koala bear, until noticed by his elder brother.

He systematically removed all the little caps from those springy door- stop thingies in my house in the three days the family stayed, and a towel holder in the downstairs loo fell to pieces in his hands. I wonder what he will find to dismantle at Christmas when they stay for 10 days and there is no outside activity to distract? My ex fixed child- frustraters on all the kitchen cupboards but I have a feeling has worked them out....

Maybe I shouldn't have taken that photo of him with the chain- saw. It was a 'working' plastic toy but may have given him ideas. The dummy makes him look so harmless too.
His loving family have nicknamed him 'Seek-and-destroy'.
