Calm, grounded & reassuring.

“Let’s take a deep breath together,”

Pat loves quiet moments and peaceful pauses. He enjoys being near calm waters, watching the world drift by. Whenever there’s a big transition—like going from playtime to bedtime—Pat is there to help slow things down. He’s the ideal buddy for those who need a little more grounding when the day gets busy.

Fun Fact: Pat is an excellent nap buddy — he can fall asleep anywhere (even floating in a lily pond once!). His favorite thing is helping friends wind down after a big day.
