Not Cool


Tucker is rather fond of our lint roller.  He carries it around, giving it the kind of attention that no other toy has rivaled.  We talk about how sticky it is.  And Tucker loves to twist hair - mine, his own, his sister's - between his fingers, to yank on it and chew it.  We talk about  how the strands feel coarse or fine, are curly or straight.  Tucker loves to pet the dog and to "pat the bunny" and to bury his face in cushy pillows and cozy blankets, and we talk about how soft all those things feel.  Tucker is also really quite interested in my lip gloss, the green rubber C.O.Bigelow tube.  He passes it from hand to hand and gnaws on each end, and we mostly ignore him, not sure what to make of his affinity for makeup...
As interested as Tucker is in textures though, I thought he might like to play with snow.  I thought wrong:

Still a great sensory activity -- he has to do it to know he doesn't like it! :)

I believe it was you, Jenni (maybe my memory serves incorrectly) who described what snow looked like to you: "soft and fluffy and warm"...before touching it, of course. Even if that wasn't you (the many young-child observations in the family blur together), I'll bet that's what Tuck was thinking...OOPS!!!

I know he's sad, but this made me smile. Sweet little guy. :)
