Crying Angry T-errible / Baby Dito Crying Angry T-errible Because Mom Is Weaning Him”
Baby Dito’s tiny face is full of confusion as the soft morning light settles over the troop. He sits close to his mother, hoping for the familiar warmth and comfort he has always known. But today, Mom Daisy turns slightly away, gently but firmly refusing him the milk he desperately wants. For little Dito, who has relied on nursing since the day he was born, this sudden change feels like a heartbreaking mystery. His small body trembles with frustration, and soon his cries echo through the trees—sharp, angry, and full of helpless emotion.
He tugs at his mother’s fur, trying to understand why she won’t let him nurse. To him, the world feels unfair, confusing, and t-erribly different from before. His mother, though stern, is not cruel—she watches him carefully, making sure he stays close, nudging him toward independence step by step. Weaning is a natural part of growing up, but for a baby as sensitive as Dito, the process feels overwhelming.
Dito stomps his little feet, his face scrunching with anger as he tries again, only to be gently pushed away. Each refusal brings another burst of furious crying, and his tiny hands shake with the effort of expressing emotions too big for him to handle. Yet even in his frustration, it’s clear he still trusts his mother, clinging to her side whenever the fear becomes too much to bear.
Slowly, as the day goes on, Mom Daisy offers him bits of solid food and comforting touches, reminding him that she is still there—just in a new way. Though his cries are loud and t-errible, they are also the beginning of his journey toward growing stronger, braver, and more independent.
