everything but the toy

I know you all know that on Christmas morning, kids are way more interested in the boxes or the wrapping paper the present came in than the actual present itself. We are seeing this with Graham. He loses focus easily. Maybe he inherited this from me, :D, or maybe he is acting like a 6 month old. Either way, here is the story with pictures.


Graham is sitting in this chair, all by himself. He has his new dragon, Draco, with him. At first, we forget Draco is in the chair with him. He is really excited about his foot at this moment.


Then he remembers that Draco is in his lap. But not only is there Draco, but a white tag on Draco. I didn't cut this off, and thank goodness. The tag only adds to he appeal of Draco. Now, I can never cut it off. So, we have found the tag. And we love it.


Oh my goodness, this tag is so interesting and amazing. It must be the only tag ever created.


Oh, hello mommy. Are you taking photos of me again?

Oh cool, I am sitting in this really neat chair. It has interesting texture and feels funny when I scratch it.

Oh, neat, a tag on Draco. I love this tag. I love to grasp it with my hands. I am learning to control them better.

Finally, Draco gets some love Graham style. He is showing Draco how strong he is by throwing him up and down several times in a row. This is a Graham special. He does this with his favorite toys, or all of them at the moment.

Back again to the tag. What is it about the tag?

And to end the story, Graham found his pant leg.

This kid makes me smile everyday. I adore him.

Hope you enjoyed the story.
