Lucas found his elephant

For all my sicko friends, this isn't going to be about what you think it is.

Lucas has two toys that hang from his car seat-one is a mama elephant and a her calf, the other is a daddy lion and his cub. I got them to keep Lucas occupied in the car and to help stimulate his reach. Marc hates them-they are in the way when you try to put Lucas in the seat or when you take him out; they have a bell inside so every time the seat moves, they make noise. He also thinks they make Lucas cross eyed. Whatever, I like them.

Today as we were leaving the Carriage House (that is Lucas' day care center), Lucas reached up and grabbed the elephant!!!!!! I was so excited you would have thought he said "Mama" for the first time. One of the things we need to work on with Lucas is his reaching and grabbing-that will help stimulate his arms and get him ready to bear weight on them. This is a good first step:) All that must have tired him out because now he is asleep (still in the car seat) with one hand on the handle. What a cutie!
