Chronicles of a Toy Stealer - in pictures

We'll start with an introduction of the characters . . .
Alex - The innocent face tells the whole story.
Nicholas - A baby with only one thing on his mind . . . TOYS!
The day - December 18th. Sunday morning. Daddy is taking a nap and we encounter our boys enjoying some playtime with Mommy. That is, until playtime is no longer something to laugh about.
Alex has selected one of his very favorite toys from the huge variety available.


As you can see, he clearly enjoys this toy very, very much.

But then out of nowhere, the toy is taken right out of his mouth!!

Nicholas has decided that this particular toy looked way too good to be in anyone's mouth but his own! Poor Alex! He is only 7 months old but knows he has been wronged!

Although there are numerous other options at his feet, Alex will not take his eyes off the perp!

Also only 7 months old, Nicholas knows that acting innocent is nearly as important as being innocent.

Nicholas, being one who appreciates the getting much more than the having, has already begun to tire of Alex's prized possession.

But, just in case he changes his mind, Nicholas decides to put it well out of Alex's reach for safe keeping!
