This is fun!

The other day, Connor's friend Natalie came over and played for a few hours during the afternoon.  She brought over her Build-A-Bear that looked just like Connor's, and they did all kinds of silly pretend play things with them.  When we finally kicked Natalie out of the house, Connor came down to hang out, still dragging around his stuffed penguin (who we lovingly named "Nerd" when we created him).  Connor yelled for me to give him my Boppy, and I was a little distracted so I just handed it over to him without really wondering what he needed it for.  A few minutes later, as I was walking to the door to the garage to leave, I noticed that Connor was carefully arranging the Boppy around him, sitting cross-legged on the couch, with his stuffed animal at his side.  I asked what he was up to, and he said he needed to feed his baby.  The next thing I know, he's lifting up his shirt and laying Nerd across the Boppy, apparently to feed him!  A very brief moment later he picked up Nerd, patted him on the back for a few seconds, and switched the way he was laying - Connor explained to me that it was because he needed to feed him on the other side now.

Too friggin cute!  I mean, Connor doesn't see babies eating out of bottles much, and I actually am just really glad that he things breastfeeding is as natural and normal as anything else that goes on in our house.  He's even comfortable enough with it to pretend he's doing it himself, and that's just one of the most innocent and refreshing things I've seen in a while.  I love my kids!
