For participating in a UNO study at daycare on child development, Desmond received a copy of Corduroy as well as the matching stuffed bear. Not sure what clicked in his imagination today (baby sister?), but the bear has been actively participating in our activities all evening. Whether it was Des making the bear throw and pick up the bouncy ball outside, or below as Des spontaneously gave the bear a drink of his water-

After his persistent requests, taking a break from the normal toys to getter a better handle on the salad spinner. As you do.

Winding down the evening with Dad and Des reading stories before bed, he began getting the second blanket out. Confused as to why he didn’t want his usual favorite blanket, the following scene unfolded as he got the bear ready for bedtime stories as reading resumed.

As Dad finished tucking him in, Des rearranged the covers so that bear wasn’t just sitting by him, but rather underneath the blankets too.

The surprises each new day brings just never gets old.
