What about Ewan???

With all this talk of Liam and bilbies, you may be wondering what's happened to Ewan!

Well he's still here, albeit a little quieter than Liam - but that's not hard! Ewan, while quiet, has a strong character and won't back down if there's something he wants to do or say. That's only at home though - when we're out he's very shy and likes to stay close to me or Ben. People often remark, "Oh so he can talk!", suprised when they actually hear him speak!

He is very loving and affectionate - always wanting cuddles and kisses. He is still very much our "baby" and not because we want him to be but because he insists on it! He loves just cuddling up and making babyish cooing noises. And he has "that" look - you know that one where they smile and look at you with big eyes that just melt your heart. Totally irresistible! He hooks everyone in - not just us! Even young girls around the 6-8 yr old mark will take him under their wing and follow him around catering to his every whim. He is certainly a charmer!

And like Liam he is switched on - he just does it without as much talk! His "thing" is bugs and insects. He's always been drawn to little things so bugs/insects are very exciting for him. Liam bought him a bug catcher for Christmas and he adores catching creatures to put in it. Evidently we are looking at upgrading his bug catcher because there is never enough room for everything he finds! He's had spiders, beetles, huge caterpillars, grasshoppers, and countless ladybugs (one of his favourite things!). Sadly they end up dying in his catcher because he never wants to release them and the catcher is too small for them to set up home in.

So that's Ewan in a nutshell - though we wouldn't use a nutshell really for him - he's allergic to cashew nuts!
