Joshua has been joined at the hip to 'bags' now for several months. We would hear "I want the bag" if we were handing out treats, crackers, fries or anything that can come in what looks like a bag. Thankfully, Caleb was okay with getting a pile and we could give Joshua his beloved bag.
Now the bag has turned into a carrying tool for his toys. He has become a bag lady, or man. He has been a hoarder of toys for some time now but as he collects more and more, they become cumbersome to carry around. So, he started putting small toys in a bag that his Cars toys came in. Then he moved on to the gallon-size baggies that carry more toys (I may have started those as I would pack suitcases for trips; I would organize toys into smaller bags for easy access). Then he received toys in gift bags at Christmas and he would load them up with more toys. Most recently, he has a GI-NORMOUS handled bag from Gymboree that stores his little Mac truck, his new Ham/Evil Dr. Pork Chop, his Jeremy the Airplane, his King & Chick Hix, various trains and cars, his Leapster, and more! Whatever it is that he can't part with that day goes into the bag, and he lugs it around with him everywhere, even taking it to bed with him. He was devastated when the bag ripped. It simply can't hold all his precious things. And while he doesn't mind sharing some things, he likes to keep his important stuff close to him.
Shawn & I just laugh most days about the bag. Our Bean will either grow out of this phase (and I'll be glad I have this record of the memory) or he will grow up to be on that show Hoarders that I've never seen but heard about. Silly Joshua! ;-)
