Here's the game: place a toy on the floor, grab the kid and hold him up over the toy, and lower him down and let him try to snag it. We call it "The Crane". He needs practice.
P.S. I have been notified by Claire and Aunt Megan that this activity is in fact called "The Claw" and not "The Crane". Without authorization, yesterday I renamed it "The Crane" because I was making growly crane noises during the activity (the big machine that picks up stuff, not the regal wading bird). The idea for this activity came from Aunt Megan and Uncle Brian, but ultimately "The Claw" may come from the movie Toy Story:

ReplyDeleteAWWWW!!! I love his little exertion noises ... :)
Marcus and I would play the same game, but I called him "The Claw." "The Claw" rapidly became terrifyingly proficient at snagging anything that came within its surprisingly broad reach ...
Daddy's little crane....he makes the same noises I do when I bend over to pick up something...
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of trying to pick up that little car (and other objects) with the VertiBird. Best toy ever. Except maybe now for the VertiSpud.
