What a cute story. I'm in the process of uploading my video of the boys ripping apart their gifts. Somehow they knew to get right through the paper and go for the toy. It's amazing how with each gift they did that and then grabbed the toy and immediately played!
My boys love the Skineeeze toys too and do the same thing yours do. I get them at Walmart or $9.95. They certainly last forever.
My only funny story is that I threw one of their gifts out onto the living room floor for them to open. Well, it so happens that they opened a set of slippers that I was giving to someone else as a gift! Oops!
Very glad Lucy is ok.
