OBSESSIONS Cont'd

So...I mentioned Tyson's obsession with sticks and rocks. Wow, in the last couple of days, he has fallen in love with his rocks. He has to have one with him at ALL times. We have several on hand in our house that he has brought in from different outings, so that if he needs one we know where to find one.
Today, we went to a barbeque on campus and they had a river rock pathway. He, of course, had to pick one of them. The one he wanted was quite big, so I helped him pick one that was more the size for him to carry around. This rock overfilled his hand. But, it is HIS rock.
He ate with the rock in his hand. Wow, my son can multi-task. So, after the barbeque was finished it was time to head home for a nap (for Tyson)...I completely forgot about the rock because he holds on to it all the time. (He holds it in his thumbsucking hand and still somehow manages to suck his thumb.) We got home and got him ready for nap and yup his rock took a nap with him. And tonight, he kept calling and calling...so I went in and he needed his rock. As soon as he had his rock, he went to sleep.
WHERE DO THESE OBSESSIONS COME FROM? So weird!!

That's really cute. Some kids have binkies, other blankies - Tyson has rocks!

Miss you!
