Ear wax
“We need a spray for the wax in our ears Mum!”
Every ten minutes (consistently) for about an hour yesterday, Jack came to me with this statement, with his arms up beside his head and fingers pointing madly at his ears.
All I could do was look at him in wonder and say, “Yes, Jack”. I was stumped for a response.
I don’t know if it was the fact that I was surprised he even knew about wax in ears, or that I was surprised with his idea of a spray to get rid of it?
Steve solved the mystery for me later when I was relaying the ‘newest idea’ - there is an advertisement on television for an ear spray. Jack had obviously seen the advertisment appear every ten minutes and then proceeded to make his announcement.
Today started with yet another comment about ear wax.
I decided to restrict television watching to DVD’s for the time being. Hopefully he passes over this interest quickly.

Yes, we went through the “Oxyclean” phase (a commercial here for a detergent).
Now the Prince is a bit stuck on one particular scene from the movie “Happy Feet.” In addition to repeating the lines, he now creates scenarios of the scene from legos and draws the scene over and over. It’s amazing how they can keep repeating and reliving these things, and each time it is new to them!
In our case, even if we turn off the tv or dvd, it doesn’t matter. Once he’s seen it and is attracted to it, there’s no stopping him until he moves on to some new fascination!
