Mr. T

Lately, Peter has been reminding me a little of yet another '80s icon:

No, not because of Peter's awesome mohawk or thick beard.  Petey Boy has developed a love for Charlotte's Mardi Gras beads and suddenly knows how to get them over his head.  For instance, I walked into the bonus room this afternoon and found him like this:

And, I just realized I took the photos a little too soon.  Since then, he has added at least four or five strings to his collection.  I heard that my friend, Joslyne, was potty-training Zoey using strings of beads as incentives.  Perhaps Peter will respond to a similar incentive...

(And yes, I know they are a strangulation hazard.  They will all be put safely away unless Peter is supervised from now on!)
