He must have inherited this from his mommy . . .

Elijah has developed a strange obsession with Grandma Amanda’s purse. He loves playing with it, and will content himself for quite a while just picking it up, pushing it around, turning it over, etc. He gets upset when Grandma gets ready to leave on the days she takes care of him, but we can’t tell if he’s more upset that she’s leaving or that the purse is leaving! He’ll crawl towards the front door after Grandma, whining the whole way – until he reaches the magical purse, which he promptly pulls down and starts to play with happily. We’ve tried giving him other purses, but he only wants one – Grandma’s. It’s become so funny, that when Grandma leaves on Wednesday nights we say “Bye-bye, Grandma. Bye-bye, purse. See you next week!”

I love my Grandma (and her little purse too!)
