A Fool for the Dragon

So I was at the mall with the B a couple of weeks ago, just looking to get out of the house and do a little walking with the B on a rainy day, and we chanced upon this stuffed dragon. It's a baby toy, safe for kids under 3, and he even has a mirror on his tummy to further entrance her.

I saw it in the store and shook it in front of her to see what she'd think. Before then, she hadn't really been interested in bigger stuff like that, other than the elephant that plays music that she stares at while she does tummy time. Her little eyes lit up and she giggled at it a little bit.

Well, she might be a fool for a stuffed dragon, but I'm a fool for her and I'd been looking for an alternate toy that had the power to distract her. What we have now is the first object she really seems to have become attached to. In a couple of months he will probably be mostly drool and about five pounds heavier than he currently is because of it, but you should see her little eyes light up when she sees him.

Did I mention he has a little rattle in his back too? What a quality dragon.
