Zain's pet mouse.

What? No one likes a good Roots joke? Is it too soon?

What's that you say? You like a good Roots joke. Ah, I see.

Zain loves to sing. He likes to sing along with his musical toys at the top of his lungs. One of his current favorites is Hickory Dickory Dock. He bellows, "The mouse ran up the CLOCK!" Being only 18 months old, he has some trouble with pronunciation. He tends to leave the "L" off of the word "clock." Yep. That's fun when you're in the car, stopped at a stoplight and the windows are rolled down.

We keep buying him these expensive European toys that promise no added lead or other heavy metals. We bought him a German toy that looks like a little stuffed fabric cheese chariot with a mouse that you can sit in it and pull around. Does Zain ever play with it? Nope. Does he pull our old computer mouse around by its cord? Yep. Does he get really upset when he can't find the computer mouse? Yep.

I don't know why we bother.
