Strange Fascination

This is Joshua's newest friend, "penon" (that's penguin for those of you who don't speak Joshua). With the suggestion of the ER doctor the other night we thought it would be best if Joshua had a humidifier in his room to help him recover from croup. I remember having one in my room as a kid, however it wasn't nearly as cute as the ones out there now, it was much more of an eye sore! We took Joshua to Target and he picked out the "penon" humidifier over the frog. He actually said, "That's Owie's frog" as he looked over his two choices in the store. So we set up the penguin in his room and ever since Joshua has had a strange fascination with it. He likes to kiss the penguin and try to suck in the mist as it is blowing out of of the penguin's mouth - I think this comes from the fact that I was trying to get him to breathe in the mist from the warm mist humidifier on Thursday night when he was having trouble breathing. Joshua also likes to remove the penguin's head and drink the condensation that has collected off of the top of the tank. He's even tried picking the humidifier up to take it elsewhere in the house. Strange child!
