Some of Lance’s favorite things include Spider-Man, Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear, and Baby Shark. He also loves oranges, which are one of his favorite snacks. Lance enjoys activities that allow him to move, explore, and engage with the characters and music he loves. Lance’s smile and joyful spirit make him a very special little boy.

Lance has been the baby boy for 3 years. Recently his mother just had a new baby. Lance is having a hard time dealing with the new baby. Lance also suffers from separation anxiety. His therapist suggested a support bear to help him to prepare for preschool in the fall. Allowing Lance to pick his own bear with his mom's voice in it may help him prepare to be away from her.
