Josh the Big Brother

Josh has been pretty unsure of what to think of Avonlea. I don't think he really understands that she is here to stay. 

When we asked him about her he kept saying that he wanted to eat her. A little confused, we pried a little deeper and discovered that he thought if we ate her she would go back into Mommy's belly. 

 

Since this conversation, we think that he is begining to like her a little more.

He now wants to come close to her...

 

...and also give her loves!
