taking care of babies

Caleb has two dollies, both named Baby, and a stuffed dog he calls Hundley, the care for all three of whom he takes very, very seriously.

Without any prompting from me, he makes sure to feed them.

He changes their poopy diapers. (Do you think that using notebook paper is the imaginative equivalent of a cloth diaper?)

He tucks them in for naps, and even refuses to let anyone in his bedroom when they are sleeping.

He lets them pick out the shows they watch.

Whenever we go outside, he takes at least one of them with him. (The others stay home to nap.)

He keeps his diaper bag well stocked with all of the essentials: diapers (ahem, wadded up pieces of notebook paper), bottles, and the camera (of course).

Because just as any proud parent would, he takes lots of photos of them.

(Edited to add: I responded in the comments, but in case more of you are also wondering....the giraffe you see in most of the pictures is a toy that Caleb gave to his babies to share.)
