One day Wade was sitting on the living room floor watching David and I build a Lego tower. Wade started making noises, “Ahh! Ooh! Uh!” He babbles to himself sometimes, so I didn’t think anything of it.
The noise got louder and more forceful. “UH! UH! HA!” I thought he wanted my attention.
“Wade, what’s the matter? Wade? Wade?!” He looked right past me, escalated the noise and began to kick his legs and wave his arms around. He was clearly frustrated.
The source of his frustration?
This.
David’s toy tiger.
Wade is fascinated by our two Cocker Spaniels and our cat. Sometimes he “talks” to them, and tries to get them to come to him.
Apparently Wade thought the tiger was another family pet.
I moved the tiger close enough for him to feel, and see that it wasn’t real. The first thing he did was bite its tail. I don’t think a live tiger would have tolerated that so well.
A few days later Wade, David and I were playing in David’s room. Wade and I were sitting next to the tiger. I accidentally bumped the tiger with my foot, and made it move.
Wade, who’s attention had been focused on David, jumped! His face was a mixture of confusion and surprise. He sat for the longest time just starring at the tiger. I could see the wheels turning in his head. Is is real after all? How did it move?
Poor Wade. It really did startle him. I’m sure it didn’t help that I couldn’t stop laughing.
I still don’t think Wade knows what to make of that tiger. He seems to regard it with suspicion every time he sees it.
That’s such a cute story! That’s a big tiger, I can see why he’s confused, lol!
