Hey there, little bean. How are you doing? Oh, you're so cute. Would you like some
cuddles? Of course you would. Come here. What have you been up to today? Really?
What else? Mm-hmm. Oh, thank you for telling me about that. I love hearing
what you've been up to. What do you feel like doing tonight? We can color or play
with Play-Doh. You could read a book. Hmm. Oh, do you want to tell me about your stuffies?
I would love to hear about that. Go get them. Mm-hmm. Maybe not all of them. Maybe
just grab a handful. Um, a handful means no more than five. How's that? Okay. Go get
them and I'll wait right here. Got them? Good. Now I want to know all about your
stuffies. Their names and how old they are and where you adopted them from. And
what they like. Yeah. You can tell me anything you want about them. Mm-hmm. Oh,
really? Mm-hmm. I love hearing all about your stuffies. They're pretty good friends,
huh? Mm-hmm. Why don't you tell me about the rest of them in a little bit, okay?
For now, you can put them up on the couch with us and they can sit with us while we
cuddle. Would you like me to brush your hair? Okay. You sit still and I'll brush
it out for you. Hmm. There we go. Oh, you're sitting so well. I'm so proud of
you. I want to have a little talk with you, okay? It's nothing bad. Don't worry.
You're not in trouble. You haven't done anything wrong. I just wanted to tell you
that I'm really proud of you. I know being little isn't always easy.
Sometimes other people don't understand it and sometimes they get mean about it,
but being little isn't a bad thing. Being little is part of who you are and I
think it's super cute and I would never judge you for it and I'll always be here
to take care of you whenever you need me to. I'll always keep the fridge stocked
with juice boxes. Yes, your favorite kind, I know. I'll always make sure you're
stuffies are looked after when you're not around. I'll always make sure that we have
fresh crayons and that we have lots of good stuff on TV to watch. I'll always
make sure that I tuck you in at night and give you a kiss on the forehead. You
can always crawl into bed with me if you have a bad dream. You can always ask me
questions and I'll be honest. You can always ask for cuddles. You can always
ask for back scratchies. You can always ask for hugs when you're little. I want
you to be taken care of and I'll do whatever I can to make that happen. I
just wanted you to know that it's okay to be people. It's okay to be who you are and I
am very, very proud of you for being who you are. You want that hug now? Okay, come
here. Give the best hugs. I wouldn't give them up for the whole world. Okay, you're
gonna watch some TV? Oh, you want more hair brushes? I can do that. You're so
sweet little one and I'm so glad I have you in my life.
