second verse, same as the first: i took ella with me to target, and i saw a small bead maze similar to this one on clearance so i picked up one for her. i put it in her lap to play with while i finished shopping. when we got to the checkout lane, she would NOT let go of it, i had to hold her over the conveyer belt so the checkout girl could scan it.
she held it all the way home too, in her lap in the car seat. luckily, it didn't pull apart and she didn't get any beads in her mouth. :)
