It's only taken 11 years...
...and one disgustingly snotty cold. Ashwyn has finally decided that blowing his nose is a thing he can do.
Note that I don't say 'blowing his nose into a tissue'. This is not a matter of etiquette or hygiene. For his entire life, up until today, Ashwyn has vehemently denied that blowing one's nose (ie the expulsion of air and other matter from the nasal passages via a short, violent exhalation) is a thing that humans are capable of, and he has flatly refused any attempts to teach him how to do such a thing. Previous colds have been dealt with by all manner of sniffing and snortling and other unpleasantries. But today, he has been blowing his nose.
Perhaps next week he will spontaneously learn how to tie his shoes.

I don't think it was one of his better birthdays, unfortunately, with me being ill.

That's a bugger. Are you feeling any better?
