No llama llama!!

Sweet little Oliver shows real concern for characters or animals who are sad or crying.  We started to piece this together when we first noticed the pattern with a couple different books and shows, and now can almost always pin point what's upsetting him when he starts yelling that he doesn't like something.  He's recently hit a peak in his aversion to crying animals with the book llama llama red pajama.  He's downright terrified of this popular preschool book!  I will admit, that the pages at the end that he doesn't like do have somewhat distorted (and probably scary looking to a little boy) illustrations of the llama crying out for him mama in bed.  When the boys had one of their friends, Charlie, come over last week to play, Oliver asked Charlie if he liked the book and tried to give it to him!  We wanted to get a few videos of Oliver telling us that he doesn't like llama llama because I'm sure this first childhood fear will quickly pass and one day we'll hardly remember it.  But he sure is pretty sincere, cute and innocent as he shouts "I don't like it!!"  And even still agrees to give the llama a kiss on the bookshelf!
