All 3 of us went to the bookstore last night and then went Christmas shopping. While we were at the bookstore Ollie played with the tran set and a few of the stuffed animals. He liked pushing the cars through the tunnels, but didn't make them go anywhere else. Eventually he got bored with that so we went to the board book section to find something for him to read. He found a book with Dora the Explorer, but she didn't stay around for long. Nothing fun to touch in her book. He found a touch and feel book with a picture of what became his obsession for the night...Ducks!
There were ducks on the cover and the first page had a yellow fuzzy circle on it. He flipped open the page to discover the fuzzy circle was really DUCKS! "Ducks!", he said excitedly. I tried to move on to the next page, but he was having none of that, he had to see the ducks. It got to the point where he wouldn't let me touch the book because I was trying to get him to look at something else in it. Occasionally he would act like he was putting it away and he would go down a step and to the shelf, but would return with the same book and open it to the same page. "Ducks, ducks, ducks", he would tell me.
Eventually it was time to go and he put the book up without a fight. We then went shopping for Christmas presents and had a little luck. He didn't mention the ducks again. I'm sure we'll here more about them when he sees his book about Ducks!
