New Best Friends

It has been really cute the last couple of days to see Lucas be so considerate of his animals. It's amazing when they start to make others "equal" to them. For example yesterday when Lucas gets up from his nap I ask him if he'd like a snack, he has insisted on bringing his Winnie downstairs with him as well.

Lucas: Ice Cream Cone?
Me: Sure
Lucas: Winnie wants one too.
Me: Okay, what flavor of ice cream would you like, rainbow or chocolate
Lucas: Rainbow, but Winnie wants chocolate
Me: Could you share yours with Winnie
Lucas: No, I want rainbow, but Winnie wants chocolate

In the end this is what the afternoon snack looked like.


Not that I really mind. It's good that he realizes the world doesn't revolve around him. ALthough now Winnie wants to see all the pictures in the book and Lucas like to wrap his arm around Winnie and let him feel the "touchy feely" books we read.

Till Tomorrow

That is so cute. I love the picture :).

Stef (my nephew, same age as Lucas) did that a couple of months ago as well : his doll needed a nappie and his doll needed to sleep and his doll needed food whenever he did too.
He's a bit over that now,...now he seems to compare adults all the time like
e.g. ooh mommy has bare feet! Stef has no bare feet. Daddy bare feet? Noooo daddy no bare feet.


It is so cute to see them change and grow and discover the world! Thanks for sharing

Ahh...that's significant development for a youngster. He's starting to realize that other "people" have wants and needs and feelings just like he does and that he has the ability to make a difference to others. Empathy and compassion are such valuable traits to discover at such a young age.

Man, he's growing up so fast. I miss him so much.
