Having fun

Muffin has begun to decide for himself what he wants to do and what he wants you to do with him.

He loves going out for walks along the corridor, down to the void deck and round the estate.

He gets very upset if his siblings go out and the gate shuts behind them with him still in the house.

He is a playful one. He is at his most gleeful when he's up to cheeky nonsense that is most instigated by his older siblings.

But 3 things he really loves a great deal of.

1. Bathing.

Thankfully, he never screamed when he was bathed. That meant bathing him was a fun thing to do because he would chuckle and kick around. He would cry only when he was taken out of the tub. In the last weeks, he's learnt to sit up on his own. And now, he has EVEN more fun in the tub. We've also made it a point to teach him not to fear water. Some kids grow up hating water splashed on their faces and it makes it difficult when they go into the pool. But obviously, it's not something Muffin is naturally fearful about. He thinks it's hilarious when you pour water down his face.



2. Chewing on his toys.

He's an easy baby to entertain. Give him chew toys and he'll just gum them to death while you're round the house doing other things (Yes, sort of like a puppy dog). Occasionally you hear him get aggressive with them. That's when he's fighting with them. Once again, the puppy analogy stands. You can imagine him being a puppy dog with the toy in his mouth, flinging it from side to side!
















3. Riding vehicles

The boy is a boy. He loves his rides. Or rather, he loves his siblings' rides. Their scooter, their toy cars, their toy dump truck. Basically, anything that moves. He's also taken to hitching rides with his siblings when they are riding round the house. He knows that he can't go far on his own steam so he hitch hikes and his siblings, especially Little J oblige.























I am constantly thankful that his siblings love him so much and bear no animosity towards him. In fact, Little J is outrightly protective over him and one yell from him sends her scurrying to get help.
