attachments

my son periodically develops mental attachments to certain objects. the first one was plastic boy we named ernie. ernie was in my son’s hand 24 hours each day. we could not believe the strength of his hand. then he would chose random plastic toys and animals to carry around and take to bed with him. he does not like soft toys. he hates blankets. once he chose the rhinoceros to make him company at night, and woke up with few scratches from it’s nose. but nothing too bad. the latest object of his affection is the wooden pot. he takes it to walks, he takes it to the crib, he carries it around making soup at all times. will see what it will be next.
