The Dirt Devil and The Daisy

A few months back I purchased a Dirt Devil Cone. As most of you know I have a slight (ha) case of OCD. I love my real vacuum cleaner but wanted something small to suck up the random pieces of grass I find on the floor. Jake also loves the real vacuum cleaner. This may be due to me vacuuming almost every day I was pregnant, I don't know. He likes to hum when I turn it on. He has not been too pleased with the Dirt Devil though. Since we got it, he'll walk over to it and just stare at it. If he has to pass it to get a toy, he watches it every step of the way. I think the little charging light must freak him out. A couple of weeks ago, he started walking over to it and crying. I have tried to get him to touch it, but he won't. When I actually turn it on, he watches but doesn't get excited like he does when I turn on the real vacuum cleaner. Weird, right?

Well, Jake has now found a weapon against the Dirt Devil. This weapon apparently can protect him from anything. He's not afraid of the Dirt Devil when he has this weapon in hand. The weapon, you ask? Well, it's an artificial daisy, of course! He has poked, prodded and whacked at the Dirt Devil ever since discovering the daisy's magical powers. At least now he doesn't cry at it!
