Uncle Tom and Aunt Sharon gave Matty a cool toy (by both his and my opinion) a dump truck that makes noises. it didn't take Matty anytime at all to know what to do with this new object in the house.
I tried to help the problem solving capacity by turning off the noises, and though I believe that he made the connection that the switch was what stopped his fun, he couldn't slide it back over, maybe soon.
Matty still before the festivities fully began, playing with a ball, but still wanting to keep hold of the truck.
Mom Lori, (my sister-in-law) with homemade cake that was very tasty, but wasn't as appealing to Matty as the fig newtons were that she gave him in about two minutes after this pic was taken.
My mom, Nana, was pulled into the build-a-bear phenomenon when a friend told her that they could record her voice and put it in the bear. Not only that but if you squeeze the bear it has a heart beat! Grandma's who don't get to see the kids are easy for these guys.
Matty wasn't sure what to make of the fact that Nana was speaking, in fact he went for mom's pocket, looking for the phone that he was sure was the source of his Nana.
The dazed, deer in the headlights look, which really was, "hey give me back that present mom handed to you."
Life lesson; give the not so animated toys first, like a electronic phone, the kids will not want to look at blocks, clothes or you for that matter.
