One of the things Diego’s mom and I adore about him so much is that he has a seemingly limitless capacity of love when it comes to animals. It’s probably a result of us having a cat and dog at home, the latter being called Diego’s “little brother” as they are so close. I’d usually tell the story of Diego being born and his mom remarking that his cry sounded “just like” the dog’s, but... oh wait, I just did. Oops. Anyhow, the love our son has for animals is evident any time we go for a walk, or there’s an animal in a book or if he sees one on TV. His face lights up, and if he’s close enough, he’ll lean in to give a kiss. That’s what happened at this playground where there was a little beaver carved into a climbing log. Look at that love! So sweet.
