I'm always a little skittish around other cubs. I have a dangerous combination of physical attributes as a cub, I'm very strong, have big heavy claws, I'm clumsy, and I have little physical awareness of what I'm doing. One of my greatest fears is that I'll hurt another cub by accident. So, when circumstances force me to have to go to a daycare, I usually play by myself if I can and try to avoid the other cubs as much as possible. Sure, I get lonely, but that's better than if I were to lose control of myself and hurt somebody.

So, when this little squirrel girl crawled up to me with her stuffed... bug, worm, whatever it was... and gave me a big ole' hug I was surprised and a little taken aback. Especially since she was sitting on my tail. But, she turned out to be one of the sweetest, friendliest kids I'd ever met and we ended up having a lot of fun playing that day, building towers of block, having a little tea-party with our plashes (turns out the worm thingy was named "Grub" and quite a gentleman in his own rights). She even ended up using me as a pillow during nap time. It was a good day.

LONG overdue kiriban runner-up pic for  toddlergirl who's been so patient and always kind throughout the process. Plus, Gem is one of the sweetest people on the site and always has something friendly and positive to say when I'm down or in the dumps. Thank you so much Gem! Love ya lots, squiggle! *hugs* Oh, and I think this may be the first pic of you in your new diaper design (Tinkles wasn't it? XD) *I cut and pasted the design onto the front like tape.* :P
