Freud overlooked the "Hat" Stage of development
Originally uploaded by Noisypond.
One thing I've noticed about my niece and nephew at this age is their fascination with things they can put on their heads. They both seem to be big fans of hats, but in the absence of a hat anything that could possibly resemble a hat is just fine, whether it's actually a plastic basket, a washcloth, or, as in this photo, a piece of camera equipment.
So, along with the oral, anal, and whatever other stages Freud dreamed up/observed, I would suggest we add the hat stage.
You know what I really like about this photo, though? Is the sense of fun and play in Reece's expression. It's quite simply wonderful.
