Abby was sitting on the floor, holding one of her Baby Dolls today (LOL, technically, yesterday.) Jacob saw it, and immediately dove for it. Abby pulled it away and said "No Jacob." Pretty defiantly. I told her to not be that way. To let him see it, and then she could have it back.
She very reluctantly conceded and allowed Jacob access to the doll. He crawled into her lap to get to it, grabbed at it's face and then took it to explore it further. He nuzzled it, and then crawled over it and moved on.
I gave Abby back the doll and said, "See, he's done. Now you can have her."
I thought it was a cool learning experience all around. For me to learn about Jacob. For Abby to learn to relax and share. And for Jacob... whatever he learned about this object he was able to get his hands on for the first time. I can only imagine what he thought about this thing that looked like a person, and yet had no life to it whatsoever.
