Roo comes up to Mike, holding out a cupped hand. This is his symbol for 'imaginary tiny baby'.
In the past, he's asked us to feed the baby, kiss the baby, put the baby to bed, and burp the baby.
This time, he said, "Here you go, here's the baby, Daddy."
Mike said, "What's the baby's name?"
(The baby's name is always Maya.)
"Maya," said Roo.
"Mwah! Maya," Mike said, kissing the air above his cupped palm. "Here you are, Robin."
"No," Roo said with a frown. He cupped his hand and brought it to his mouth and made loud growling chewing noises. "Can you eat the baby? You *eat* the baby. You put it in your mouth!"
