Xander showing some parental love with his friends

Xander was really cute- he insisted that his "friends", Baby, Doggie (pictured, but hidden) and New Old Doggie needed a nap.  Then he tucked them in.  I know every kid does this sort of thing, but it really struck me- Xander's first real practice as a parent.  He was stern and kind, especially when they (the toys) didn't want to take a nap but really needed to.  He's going to be a great Dad, I think.  As Xander would say: "Someday!"

Another note about this particular photo-
New Old Doggie is actually a battery-powered tail waggin' "yipper" from Jake's young childhood and was such a favorite that Jake's mother, Jen, actually sent the beaten up and silent mongral away to a toy specialist and had him brought back to life before giving him to Xander last year.  He's as loved by Xander as he was by his dad.
