Pretend play

I was very surprised when Benjy started doing this, as he did so younger than I would have expected, but his pretend play is adorable - he would insist on sharing his bottle with Benji Bear (as in the photos - now that he has milk from a beaker, he doesn't seem to share it as often), puts his telephone to the doll's ear and shares his food with 'Hop' (a little stuffed horse which has long floppy ears and looks like a rabbit - and Benjy calls rabbits 'hop' - and Benjy is insistent it's not a horse, which is how 'Hop' was named), either by spoon-feeding him or putting him in his bowl. We love it - we think it shows his very kind nature beautifully.
