Freya sits on her potty chair, holding her big teddy bear in her lap. “I’ve got you, I’ve got you,” she says soothingly, over and over.

She carries the bear to our leather ottoman, then finds her yellow baby blanket and spreads it over the bear, tucking her in. Lately she has been all about tucking in her dolls under blankets, and also sleeping under blankets herself for the first time (she always hated covers before).

I just love watching her play gently with her dolls, talking softly to them. She’s become such a sweet little girl.
