Joash's favorite toy


I've always thought that Joash's favorite toy is the ball but I've never seen him take the ball to bed. In fact, he doesn't like ANYTHING on his bed. When I put the pillow and the comforter on the bed after he upgraded to the toddler's bed, he squashed himself to sleep on the only spot which the pillow and comforter didn't occupy. When our neighbor gave him a soft toy dog, he kept playing with it. However, during bedtime, he put the dog away even though I told him he could sleep with it.

Recently, I've noticed him moving the crocs around as if it were a vehicle. Also, he started becoming frustrated when the train couldn't move as he dictated since it was designed to move on its own. Thus, I got him a small toy bus from Toys 'R' Us last weekend.

I simply can't believe how much he loves it!!! He was crying the night we got the bus during bedtime and when I gave him the bus to sleep with, he calmed down immediately and slept! *faint* He even wanted to bathe with it. Not only that... he actually hid the bus in Jayna's bouncer once. Thinking that he had forgotten about it, I kept it for him. Never would I have imagined that he remembered where he left his toy bus and started looking for it when he went over to play with his sister at the bouncer! All I can say is "Wow"! Maybe I should have bought him a toy vehicle earlier... or perhaps not. It could be he has only recently begun to identify the different types of vehicles he sees on the road and can therefore fully appreciate the toy? We'll never really know, I guess.
