Petey & Packages

Petey loves to open packages. You have never seen a preschooler open packages with as much enthusiasm as Petey opening one. I'm not sure how we discovered this little personality trait, probably the first gift giving occasion after he came to live with us. Now, on birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, or any other gift giving occasion Petey is right there in the mix. He loves gifts so much he even knows where the wrapping paper is stored. When I go in to get it, he is right with me, jumping and pawing. He is very good to leave the packages alone when they are under the tree, or otherwise left alone by everyone, but when the opening starts, he is there to lend a hand, or a paw, or tooth. Here are a couple of clips of him helping John open his birthday gifts this year...


At the end of the second clip, Petey picks up his favorite toys and walks away. His work was done - all the gifts were open - time to move on!!
