Yesterday 16 month-old Elijah and his mom came by to visit Grandma and Bumpa (Grandpa). But mostly he wanted to play with his friend Barclay, the five year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He took Barclay for a walk and a little conversation on the parking lot, stopping to point to the sky, step up to the sidewalk, leash in hand, and walk Barclay as no one else ever has.
Isn’t he fun, Barb? And Barclay is unfailingly patient with him. I’ve never known a 16 month-old to have Elijah’s balance or to want to walk the dog, and be able to do it!!! What a joy to watch this little guy grow up. I’ll watch for an answer to your left-handed question. You’re very observant. I already knew that. Hope new member of the Kidder household is warming your hearts.

They are soul mates. And he is an amazing 16 mo-old! Is he a lefty? Must be cold there- he’s all bundled up! What a gift this little one is.

He’s such a joy, Nancy! Did you ever know a 16 month-old with that kind of balance? A 16 month-old holding the leash to walk the dog?

I knew you’d like it. He was babbling away at Barclay earlier on their walk. Barclay seemed to understand Elijah’s language. 🤷♂️🤗

And quite likely Elijah understood Barclay. Cf. Charlotte’s Web.😉😃
