Daniel Tiger has a baby sister Margaret if you are familiar with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. If you aren't, you should be, but take my word for it. My grandson heavily identifies with Daniel Tiger because he also has a baby sister El. Grandson relates a lot of things to Daniel Tiger and identifies with him.
Last week when Grandson was at my house we played in the yard for a while. I have a statue of Our Lady of the Snows which is Mary holding baby Jesus. We have sat beside that statue any number of times. He likes for me to say a few prayers while he pats Mary's head. He calls her Mary, so I think that he is starting to get some understanding of the world around him.
But, this time playing in the front yard Grandson did something different. He ran up and patted the baby Jesus and said, "Baby El." I told him that it was baby Jesus, but he again told me that it was Baby El. I got him to repeat, "Baby Jesus," but I am not sure that he was convinced. He tried again, "Baby Margaret?" Oh, well, kid, you have the baby part right.
