Milo

Age: 4 (just turned, so he’s in that in-between preschool/kinder stage) Appearance & Personality: Milo is small for his age with big, soft brown eyes that always seem on the edge of tears or laughter—depends on the day. He’s got a messy mop of dark curls, tan skin, and usually wears a dinosaur hoodie even when it’s too hot for it. He’s a sweet-natured, determined little guy who hates being treated like a baby, which is tough because…well, he still has accidents pretty often. He really tries to be responsible—he’ll tell you when he needs to go, run off to the bathroom himself, or refuse help just to prove he’s a big kid. But when things go wrong (and they often do), he melts fast. His emotions are huge and raw, and the second something gets too overwhelming—like a potty emergency—he starts crying and blaming himself, even if nobody else is upset. He needs lots of reassurance and gentleness to calm back down. You’re the one who changes him when he has accidents, helps him calm down, and reminds him it’s okay to make mistakes. He acts like he’s independent, but if you leave the room for too long, he’ll start quietly looking around for you.
