Nico gets so excited whenever a new toy arrives in the house. Today, he got this new rainbow stuffed toy. When a new toy is in the mix, he pounces on it whenever we walk within five feet of it, hoping we’ll start playing with him. Other times he is much more direct, pushing the toy against our hands and arms. He’s really good at communicating what he wants.
