My son, Isaac, loves the character Toodles from Disney’s Clubhouse. He also loves his Baby Night Night. (A toddler pillow that he carries around every day.) The other day we were driving in the car and we had this conversation…
Isaac, “Baby Night Night doesn’t like Toodles.”
Me, “Well, maybe he feels sad because he knows how much you like Toodles.”
Isaac, “But Baby Night Night says I can’t like Toodles.”
Me, “Baby Night Night can like who he likes and you can like who you like.”
Isaac, “But Baby Night Night is sad.”
Me, “Then hug him and comfort him.”
Isaac commences hugging and kissing Baby Night Night…
Isaac, “Baby Night Night is hitting me.”
