Yesterday, we decided to take a short outing to get our of the house. Benjamin hates to wear a hat, but when I promised Daddy and Mommy were going to go bye bye with him, he humored us (just as long as we didn’t leave Daddy behind!)
OK guys! I’m ready!
So, off we went, with Daddy and Benjamin giggling in the back seat while I drove. We often take turns sitting in the back to entertain Benjamin and get some extra quality time.
When we arrived, we gave Benjamin a puzzle to try. We also gave him his pacifier so he wouldn’t put germy pieces in his mouth, nor would he spread his cold to other kids.
But, he quickly noticed something he wanted far more.
He dragged this toy off the table with a “GRRRR” and tried to haul it away with him so no one else would try to take it. We humored him for a while. This video is the best I could do to help you see how truly funny it was seeing him heft this thing around.
Eventually, he got distracted by…you guessed it…electronics. To top that, the electronics were being used by other kids, which just enthralled Benjamin.
We distracted him with another puzzle. But, then, our little hoarder tried to take as many pieces his little fists would hold and carry them to who knows where.
He kept dropping one or two, impeding his progress while he picked them back up.
Finally, he went back to the bead toy and tried to haul it away once more. We had to pry puzzle pieces and beads out of his hands as he struggled to free himself from our arms. The only consolation was that he got to play with the book scanner at the self check out, since Mommy picked up a few books to read in all her spare time.
