Oma and Hayden were walking down the Halloween isle and Oma saw a skeleton. She pointed it out to Hayden and said that she was going to buy it and take it home to Opa. Hayden immediately became shy and scared of the skeleton and didn't want to have anything to do with it. Then Oma explained that not all skeletons were scary and that Hayden had her very own skeleton! She tapped on her knee and said, "there's your knee bone!" and pointed out other hard bones under her skin.
Hayden began to understand what Oma was saying and quickly became very fond of the skeleton. She wanted to hold him, and hug him, and play with him. What a change of heart! Now Hayden is a little obsessed with skeletons. We ended up back at Target to buy a skeleton for her and Nana also sent paper skeleton to Hayden in the mail. They are both proudly displayed in our house and Hayden loves to play with them, talk to them, and show them to us.
Is it weird that I think it's super cute that she loves skeletons?!

Not weird at all. Better that she loves them than is scared of them. :)
