We bought this Bob the Builder toy dashboard a while back for Oliver to keep him occupied while in the car. It was a belated gift from Oliver's late great grandma actually. Often when we strap him in the babyseat, he will instinctively want to reach for it. This toy is really value-for-money and is one of the best investment, as Oliver has short attention span with most things. The dashboard comes with a steering wheel, a keyless ignition switch (more hightech than my car), a gear lever, and some buttons that sing the theme song of Bob the Builder or the lines of some of its characters.
One thing good about this toy is that after a minute or two of inactivity, ie if no button is pressed or the steering wheel or gear is not touched , Bob will call it a day and yawn and sing his last song. The toy will then auto shut down, apparently to save battery as well, but will spring back to life once any of the buttons etc is pressed again.
Recently I've come to notice one peculiar thing about Oliver. He will not touch the buttons or knobs for the full one minute or so, so that Bob can do his yawning. Almost immediately after that, he will deliberately meddle with it again to resuscitate Bob back to life. Very funny. To see him pressing a button nonchalantly without looking at it.
At first I thought it is a coincidence, but after Oliver does that repeatedly, and on all journeys, it is quite obvious that he knows what he is doing.
