    very interesting sandymere to see if it does return ,reading up it does sound possible that it may ! and no stress ,they are highly stung/ a bit hyper when young but nothing out the norm .mind now he has really chilled but again thats probably due to his age, as others i know have quietened down about 21/2-3 yo as well
