Calum's latest thing is he has to be wearing an "Elmo" pamper. They all have pictures on them - Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert, etc. but apparently only Elmo will do for our boy. I'm running out of ways to trick him because only about 1/6 of each bag has an Elmo picture on it. Tonight he saw through me and immediately went looking for the right pamper and asked for me to change him again.
His other love at the moment is "The Guys". "The Guys" are those Little People and animals that come with toys like his barnyard, etc. They are also any small plastic figure like Dora and Boots (the most special of all the guys). They have a bin full of them at daycare and all the kids love them. Calum will take my hand and put one of the guys in it to get me to play with him. He likes to pretend he is an astronaut or to have them jump or shoot Spidey webs. Today, after I picked him up from daycare, he was very anxious to get home to play with the guys. Desiree had cleaned up all of his toys and he was looking all over for them. Sometimes they get carried around in a little Dora back pack that Nanny gave him. Sometimes they all ride in a truck after lining up in a row waiting for him to pick them up.
Sometimes he reminds me so much of my brother when he was younger. I'm waiting for him to hit the sand box stage or the water gun stage. He already likes to chase us around with the plant spray bottle. I guess he won't have a Finigan or a Dukes of Hazzard car but he does sometimes want to cuddle with his teddy bears and play with his match box cars. Maybe it's a boy thing.
He is starting to ask a lot more for Dad. This morning he wanted Don to come with us to the daycare. I apparently am not as much fun at bath time because he wants Dad to do that too. Tonight Dad kept him entertained by playing with the guys, playing cars and shooting spidey webs at each other. He still wanted me to read him books though.
It will be a busy day tomorrow so I'm off to bed. Hope you are all having a good week.
