Connections, Connections!

It is amazing how much Casen is starting to show us he knows........this is just a quick connection he made today that I don't want to forget about. Brett and I were playing around with Casen in his room and Casen went up to press his Elmo's foot to make him giggle. Well, the Elmo didn't giggle so Brett said, "Uh-oh it probably need batteries!". So, I put Elmo on the floor and pressed his foot and he worked just fine. Casen just had not pressed his foot in the correct place. Well, we continued to play with Casen and we all just cracked up at Elmo. After a little while, Casen started dragging (this Elmo is pretty heavy) Elmo out of his room and I'm trying to give him a smaller Elmo because I knew it would be easier for him to carry. But, he just continues to drag this Elmo into our bedroom and he goes directly to my night stand, where I keep the batteries. He turns Elmo over, looks at the bottom of his foot (where the batteries go), and takes a battery out of the drawer and tries to put it into Elmo! I about fell out on the floor! I could not believe I was witnessing this......I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but Casen has never been directly shown how to put batteries in a toy. So, this goes to show just how much my little boy is taking in ALL the time! I mean the only thing he was missing was a screwdriver to open the battery case on the toy! He would have probably know exactly how to use that too! ha! The really funny thing is that all of this took place because of the comment his daddy had made about Elmo needing batteries!
