Seen any cute camels lately?

[JoyNChrist]

Yes, I said camels. Because that's what my 19-month-old is obsessed with - camels. Or actually "tamels" as he calls them. ;)

He has a large-ish Ty beanie buddy camel and three smaller beanie baby camels. The large one goes everywhere with him, and he sleeps with it and the three smaller ones. We also have a Sleich camel for bathtime (bought after we had a week's worth of tantrums because his big camel couldn't go in the bathtub).

I'm always on the lookout for more "tamels" to add to our collection, but it's not exactly an easy animal to find. I did buy him this pull-toy (http://www.moolka.com/jzv/prod/2788/Sevi/Toys/Push+and+Pull+Toys/Pull+Toys/Pull+Along+Camel+Tuareg?p=YzE9MTc5JmMzPTI2OQ==) from Moolka a couple months ago, and his excitement was just too cute.

So anyway, if you happen to come across any camels online or in stores (wooden, plastic, plush, even a book about camels), Avery and I would really appreciate a heads up. :D

Isn't it? Did you see the multicolor versions? I'm thinking of getting it for my 2-year old, and he doesn't even have a thing for camels!

I did! Although I think for the camel I actually like the stained piece best (since camels are brown, after all). But that green alligator, black whale, and the multicolor fish, frog, and seahorse are too cute! The butterfly is really beautiful too.

Definitely ordering the camel for Christmas. Awesome!
