Noisy toys

Efeste playing tug

 

   When Efeste first arrived she was not comfortable with the noisy toys.  Watch her body language with the talking monkey.

 

 

So, we didn't have the monkey or other loud toys make noise.  But, we continued to intermediately include the toys in our play time. 

 

There's monkey and then sock monkey has a loud squeak and a crushed plastic bottle inside.  Again we kept the toys quiet while she was having fun playing.

 

 

And chicken makes a wacky noise but Efeste is too small to get it talking.

 

 

 After a number of days playing and building confidence with the toys here's how she's doing.

 

Her favorite toy in the world is below - big difference from the first video! 

 

 

This talking dog as you can see made her nervous...

 

 

But, she quickly recovers and within minutes it's awesome to her!

 

 

And look who decides the puppy can't be that bad if the talking Kola comes out!  That barking is D'light. 

 

 

And look who's a rock star!  All these noisy toys and she's just having a blast.  D'light use to be petrified of any noisy toys (even squeakers).  We started working with D'light with the "hear me" toys, building up on his comfort with the noises.  As you can see, he now loves the noisy toys and what a brave boy he is sticking his head down, pulling out the toys.

 

 

Time to play tug!

 

 

Sweet, awkward D'light wanting Efeste to play his version of tug

 

 

So much fun and these two have made huge strides with the noise toys.

 

 

These two rattie's sure do love the noisy toys!
