Gavin is exhibiting a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He latches on to objects and carries them in a tight fist, even while crawling. He will protest LOUDLY if you attempt to remove said objects from his hands. Unless its dangerous, we usually let him latch on to whatever he wants and carry it until he gets distracted and moves on to something else. Typically, its a straw or a car or maybe a plastic spoon. Last week, however, he found a treasure-trove in my bathroom drawer. He carried them (one in each hand) and chewed on them for about 20 minutes. I was sure that he would relinquish them when it was time for his nap and bottle. I was wrong. Not only did he manage to hold his bottle with out releasing his treasures, he woke up from his nap 90 minutes later still clutching them.
I put him in his chair and got him some lunch at which point, he finally decided to let one of them go so he could eat. Ian decided at that point, we needed a picture of this. Not sure for what, except to provide us with giggles for years to come.
A just to add a few more future embarassing photos...
Yes, this is a treasure. Strange taste for toys to carry around but Gavin must have found them interesting. Thanks as always.
