Toys

Yesterday, Gideon and I were practicing picking things up and dropping them. By that I mean that he was grabbing toys I held out just to move them to the side and drop them and then I'd cycle them through and give them back. He particularly enjoyed grabbing an empty Toblerone box (they are triangular prisms) because its just small enough he can barely grab it but shaped just so its hard to keep hold of. Anyway, at one point one of the rings he was picking up and dropping didn't fall when he opened his hand because it was around his hand. This didn't bother him, he just grabbed for the next toy anyway, also a ring. This then wrapped around his other hand. Now the rings were blocking his ability to grab and it was funny to watch him try.  Ironic with all the expensive toys in the store, some of his favorites are an empty Toblerone box and the little bags of fruit snacks. He doesn't eat the fruit snacks, of course, he just likes how they crinkle. Go figure!
