For Christmas 2011 Oliver was gifted Howie Baby, a Waldorf-inspired heavy baby doll that I handmade over many many months. Today, Patrick was gifted a similar doll (also handmade, but I used a kit instead of going to weeks of mommy-and-me classes).
P’s new baby was carefully swaddled in one of his old baby blankets, and gently handed over.
P is fairly thrilled with his new baby.
He eventually wrestled the heavy baby into his crib, demanded to be put in with it, and then spent several minutes poking it in the eye, saying “eye.”
I far prefer when P tries out new concepts on inanimate objects instead of his brother.
