Our neighbors have an adorable little girl, let’s call her Cupcake since she’s so dang sweet. She is almost 14 months old and she is very fond of Monkey. She watches him, she follows him and she steals his toys. Monkey smiles at her, laughs when she tackles him and when she steals his toys, he just finds something else to play with. Obviously it’s love, right?
Last night, Monkey was visiting with Cupcake and her mom. I had to work a bit late and when I got home I stopped by to bring Monkey back home to start the bedtime routine. Monkey volunteered a “high five*” to Cupcake’s mom. Normally he only does this when asked so I was excited so I decided to up the ante. I asked Monkey to give Cupcake a kiss goodnight. He did! It was Cupcake’s first kiss from a boy (Daddies don’t count) and it was also Monkey’s first kiss from a boy or girl (Ummas and Duhdees don’t count) lol.
Ahhh…how sweet.
Sharing toys–that’s big! It sounds like love!
Sharing toys is huge, he will normally “protect” his toys which is age appropriate and blah, blah…but to see him give it up when he obviously doesn’t have to but wants to…pretty nifty.
