Mama says Duke will be my best friend forever, and I say we’re the best friends in all the world! This is true until Duke tries to take something of mine and then I will put my face in his until he hits me and then cry to everyone about how Duke hit me. Anyway, here are a few things we like to do together:

Reading. I can read letters and I like books about princesses. Duke likes his book about the three counting kittens and likes to point out the spider. He also likes whatever book I’m reading and crying that he’s not currently reading it. Here, we are both pretending to know how to read.

Cooking in our kitchen, sometimes while holding our guys. My guy is named Mr. Bear; Duke’s guy is named Baby (all his guys are named Baby). We cook sushi soup, pancakes, and eggs. We do not have a sous chef or a bus boy or anyone who cleans up the kitchen.

Riding the choo choo train. Just kidding, Duke hates this.

Helping get Duke ready.

Sharing. Just kidding, I don’t usually like sharing. (I picked out Duke’s outfit here!)

Riding our box car to New York City!

Reading in Duke’s bed.
What do you do with your best friend in the whole world?
