Our Little Magpie

The Baby Hero has a new (mostly) adorable habit. He is a magpie. It started last Friday. The Bug Hero and I were doing something in the morning, mostly watching our Baby Hero roll around on the floor.

Until we noticed something--the Baby Hero rolled right up to his Dad and picked up a video game off of the floor. He looked at it, waved it around, and it apparently passed his inspection, because off he went, with the video game. Across the room and over to his pile of toys. The Baby Hero was smiling the whole time. Once at his toys, he deposited the video game and patted it. He then left to see what else he could scrounge up.

Now while it is the truth that he loves the Bug Hero's stuff, he also has taken some of my things. We have noticed that he has taken the video game, the Bug Hero's Lab notebook, my flip flops, several pieces of paper he finds on the floor, and my pens. He loves pens or pencils. I think it's because he sees me use them so much.


Here's his current loot. Pen, Pencil, Paper and Box. He's talented, and attracted to a lot of stuff.
