Baby Giraffe

Nathan loves little things. He loves miniature versions of anything; gravitates to the cuteness, I think. Nathan's favorite friend is his baby giraffe. It's about the size of my palm, and Nathan got it as a happy meal toy over six months ago now. Baby giraffe is the one that sleeps in his arms every night and Nathan loves to bring him places. Nathan makes him talk in this tiny high-pitched baby voice, and he tells people that although he personally doesn't like kisses, baby giraffe loves them. He makes baby giraffe kiss everyone. Once when my cousin Dale was over, Nathan hit him with baby giraffe. When we disciplined Nathan, he said that it wasn't him but that baby giraffe hit Dale. Hmmmm. Nathan shows his soft-heartedness when he plays with baby giraffe, and when he's in bed waiting to fall asleep I can hear him talking with baby giraffe. Last night Pete and I were in the living room after the boys went to bed and heard Nathan singing "Bicycle Race" by Queen in baby giraffe's voice.
