a) blame the father, that's what my kid's mother does. b) I wouldn't worry. Gloat maybe, but not worry. The kid just wanted to show it off at daycare. And maybe try to load it with someother projectile and use it there too. Perfectly normal behavior. In fact, since it wasn't a Dora doll, or a Thomas the tank engine, he's clearly getting exposure to a greater variety of stimuli. Plus, be honest, you just KNOW bringing a catapult model to school would've been cool if you ever had the chance. So he's what? Two? At most, I'd just make a mental note to be sure he doesn't start SNEAKING seige weaponry to school. And heck, maybe let him take something next time so he doesn't decide begging forgiveness is better than asking permission. MAybe get him a nerf catapult for his birthday?
I probably will blame his Daddy. Even though I'm the one who let him take it out of the house.
He's already stolen my FisherPrice cannon which fires plastic rocks. Plus his FisherPrice pirate ship also has a working cannon that fires those same rocks so I think he's set for now with the siege weapons. You should see how well Lady the train fires those rocks at the other trains!!
Hey it's better then a bag of chips as his favorite toy which I think was what a month ago? hehe It's not just you, the Captain was proudly walking around with her foam ax. What really scared me is when she picked up the matching sword she went..."Jason"...yes it's just like Uncle Jason's....sigh
You're right - a catapult's definitely better than a bag of chips. (I'd forgotten about that.) And, since Friday it was a cooler on wheels that he tried to take along, I guess a catapult isn't so bad in comparison.
