My nephew is as I like to say "ready to take on the world, aggressive and outgoing" He is 19mnths old, puts together wooden puxxles, speaks in two letter word senteces and knows "what he thinks he wants" All around he is the most advanced baby, I have ever know in my 39 yrs.
My question is this...
I have a teddy bear that is almost as big as he is. he loves this teddy bear. He will roll around on the ground with it. turning on h is back and on his belly. Wrestles and at the same time, gives the teddy bear hugs and kisses. Well, during this same experience I noticed a dog like behavior. He was grabbing and hugging at the same time it appeared to be "humping" the bear???
I know my nephew is not around strangers or no one that could hurt him. We are a very close family.
My concern is that I have been told that this has had to been a learned process?
My thought is that it just feels good to him and he likes the bear! If we take the bear from him, he does get upset. yet, he does that with whatever else we take that we do not want him to have.
Please, tell me what you think?
