Friends
As if a switch flipped inside of him in the last few weeks, Caleb has really started to relate to his stuffed animals. He calls them “friends”, and when we get him out of his crib in the morning and after naptime, he’ll say “Caleb bring friends downstairs too?” His friends will often join him for breakfast, where they’ll watch him eat, and they’ll get played with off and on throughout the day. Caleb’s favorites right now are Piglet and Penguin, but occasionally he’ll ask us to get Tiny Kitty, Duck, or Mokona and bring them downstairs too. He’ll say “More Friends!” several times in a row until we ask him which friends he wants us to get.
Here’s a shot of Caleb having breakfast with his friends watching. Piglet had not been summoned and was still upstairs.
