Mr. Grabby Pants



I got to the Fernie's house to pick up Mr. Ben-hameen on Friday, and discovered he was doing all kinds of impressive new tricks. Well. One impressive new trick. He has figured out his hands! Now if you hold an enticing toy in front of him, he will actually reach out and grab on to it. Gone are the days when his hands would wave around past his face, and he would look at them like, what the hell was that (read with paranoia in voice), or maybe a little like he was at a lazer show, more like, duuuuude, what the hell was that..... (read like you are Slater from Dazed and confused.) Ok, those sound very different to me, but its all about the vocal inflection. Call me and I will read it aloud to you and it will make more sense. Either way, now he has an idea that his hands are attached, and that he can make them do some things. He is not a professional grabber yet, but he does have a very tight grip, nearly impossible to uncoil from your hair, or necklace, once he has latched on.
