Last week at Relief Society, they used some balloons for decorations. Nathan was in the nursery and I was able to snag a balloon for him, knowing that he is obsessed. It's now been almost 2 weeks (the dinner was on Tuesday, March 18th) and his balloon is still up and still being dragged everywhere.
It eats dinner with Nathan
It takes a bath with Nathan
It drives in the car with Nathan
It sleeps with Nathan (Once he's asleep, we sneak in to take it out of his crib)
Nathan loves to look up at it and say "b b" (the sound of the letter b - bah not bee). He also holds the string in a death grip. At least we don't have to worry about it floating away.
We're not sure what to do when it the helium is gone; I guess get another one!
This reminds me of the story of the 'Red Balloon'. That French movie where the red balloon follows the boy home and it becomes his best friend. Nobody better pop this balloon!!
