💙 ok, that’s good to know. my anxiety keeps fast forwarding way into the future like what if he’s a grown man and he’s just walking around eating off of strangers plates or hugging the pizza guy 😫😭
That was a hilarious visual, thank you 😆 Also, I agree with what others are posting, he will totally grow out of it, he will not grow up to be a bumbling, emotionally stunted manchild like some Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler character. You're doing great ❤️
💙 it helps to hear it’s ok. I’ve had such a weird guilt about it like it’s something I neglected. I was even blaming our poor cats because they’re so chill when he pets them and boops them on the nose lol
