Riley + Rylan Sittin' in a Tree

If you happen to be 2 years old, don't expect our dude to get all warm and fuzzy with you. Babies are cool (mainly since they don't move or invade his personal space) and older kids are great because he can try to model their behavior. Kids his own age are typically viewed as competition and a threat to his toydome. UNLESS you're name is Riley (our neighbor friend). She's allowed to play with all his toys, sit in his new pick up truck, and obviously, from the photo above, he'll even plant one on her when prompted. We really dig Riley's parents, so we'll continue to encourage this courtship as long as we can!

Oh Riley, how I adore you.

The only time Dude will go through his tunnel is if Riley is on the other side.

To receive the honor of sitting in the pool of balls WITH dude is really quite something.
