Ugly is beautiful

Ian did incredibly well on our trip. He's such a people watcher and so curious that he typically does really well with traveling and new environments. It helped to have the love and entertainment of friends and locals, of course. However, he did have one breakdown at a restaurant on our 2nd day in Istanbul. He was really tired, still dealing with jet lag, and overall not excited about sitting in a high chair.

As he started to fuss, the wait staff brought out this doll:



Yes, it's incredibly creepy. The one redeeming factor, though, is that this doll makes a squeaking noise when you press it. And, even better yet, this is one of the few toys that Ian has been able to press and actually make the noise himself. Hallelujah! This entertained him for a good 10-15 minutes while we wolfed down our food.
