There’s something about Burrito

January 20, 2014 by Lisa

So, by now, you just might be aware that Burrito likes to bite on things (his hand, wooden toys.) It’s certainly true that he often uses this gesture as a way to initiate play with others. However, just as frequently, he’ll simply incorporate it into his play alone. Today I found him playing by himself in the front rooms as we cleaned the playroom and just couldn’t help capturing it on film for you. He looks pretty content to me!

    He DOES look content! Pretty flexible there too! ?

    I love how he just wraps himself up in his own hug! Pretty sure I can’t get my feet up to my face!

    Perhaps this was self-comforting behavior from a time he was isolated for a long time?

    I too, think he is comforting himself, and actually able to doze off,
