The Invisible Boat

Jack, like most kids, is keenly aware of his surroundings. We are constantly impressed at the things he notices, the conversations he hears and can repeat. We have found a chink in his observant-armor, however.

Tugboat.

Apparently Jack does not notice her at all. She had been down at Grandma Bernice's during our trip and we had yet to go get her. During dinner last night Jack suddenly blurted out "Where's Tug?" We had been home a full two days at this point.

When the kids were in bed, Chuck drove down to Northfield to get her and brought her back, so she was there this morning.

Jack had been out in the living room, with Tug, for about half an hour this morning when he finally turned and saw her and goes "TUGGY!!!!" I said "Jack, did you just now notice that she's back?" and he said "well, someone was licking my feet while I was eating and I was like 'Who's that licking my feet?!'"

Easy to see how this might happen. Tug is, after all, barely noticeable. :)
