You re SO right! Ford is a little! Do you have more headcanons about him? I think he would be pretty timid but I'm not sure
I do!
He's got kind of a wide age range when he regresses, it can be anywhere from 3 to 12
Luckily for Stan, he's fairly calm and rarely ever gets fussy. If he's feeling older, he'll just sit and read most of the time, but if he's on the younger side, Stan will sit with him and put on a cartoon.
If he's sleepy, Stan puts on a documentary in the background because Ford enjoys educational stuff but the narrator's voice also helps him sleep
Ford doesn't wear his trench coat when little, he always takes it off and just drops it somewhere (unless he's old enough to hang it up). That's sometimes how Stan finds out he's little somewhere, is if he just finds his coat left on the floor
Stan will mostly call him Buddy or Bug, his real name will sometimes pull him out of regression
He has a paci! It's dark blue and decorated with stars. Stan got it for him because he's got a bad habit of chewing on his hands or putting things in his mouth when he's little
Head scritches all the way, he's such a big fan of physical touch and affection since he went so long without it. If you scratch his head it's a quick way to put him to sleep
On the middlespace side of things, when he's older, he likes to help around the house where he can. Stan will give him chores like dishes or sweeping
He likes to go outside and look for bugs, but Stan has to go with him to keep him from getting lost (or from running into the magical creatures of the woods)
He has a little notebook dedicated to just bugs he finds. I think he's super into entomology as a kiddo
He LOVES fantasy books and anything related
Stan has caught him pretending to be a dragon on more than one occasion
And random headcanon I didnt know where to put: Even Bill won't mess with him when he's regressed. The first time he witnessed Ford regress, he stopped whatever mockary he was doing and took him back home/ gave him a more pleasant dreamscape
