Over the last few days Caelan has developed an affiliation with one of his stuffed toys - a donkey. It has a creative name: Donkey. We have noticed over the last month or so that Caelan's play has been changing. He is starting to make up stories, role and pretend play. Some of his 'little people' have become mummy, daddy and Caelan.
Today, Caelan took on the role of mummy to donkey. Maybe a girl would develop this sooner, but today was the first time I have noted Caelan cuddling, cradling, rocking, consoling a soft toy. Many times today, donkey was tired and needed to be tucked into bed. He was even scared of Opa's truck and was told 'shhhh, it's o.k, ok'. Up until now Caelan has not had a particular doll, animal or object which has been favoured. Donkey however, was tucked in with him both at lunch and nighttime. We also had to kiss Donkey good night. I wonder whether Donkey will become part of the family...
