I tried reading some of the puppet board books to Elliot. My favorite is “Daddy and Me” because, well, it’s about a lion and his son. I’ve read it to Elliot many, many times over the years and even bought it a second time when I could not find it.
Anyway, Elliot said, “Those are for babies!” He wouldn’t let me read them. The end of a stage!
But I later discovered a new use for them — they make excellent tickle devices in bed! So we still use them after all.
