Michele is VERY good at getting Scout to play with his long forgotten toys. The other day she got him interested in his Squirrel Dude which was a replacement for the Twist 'n Treat he destroyed in November. She just has a magic touch with the toys and now he is obsessed with it. We put some small treats inside and he picks it up and shakes it to get them to fall out. It's really interesting to watch him look at the toy and pick up the end without the hole so the treats will come out when he shakes.
