One of the first animals Rudy identified and talked about was caballo (horse). For his birthday Grandmom got him a caballo to ride on (not a real one, thank goodness).
He would talk to it.
And read books to it.
Rudy would even have the caballo give him besos if he hurt himself, but he would not ride on it. Well, he finally started riding it the other day. So here you go, Grandmom, it only took a month and a half but he will finally ride the caballo.
