Haha, Val is no genius and i have no wish for him to be. Geniuses have a tough time in life. I just want a healthy, normal kid who loves the sun, and nature like I do. Anyways, I had put him on his tummy for some exercise and decided to keep him amused with his book when i saw this 'kodak moment'. i've noticed that when i have exhausted all other ways of amusing him, books always seem to capture his attention very well. Thanks to some friends who bought Val a series of Bright Baby books, i've got at least 4 hard cover books to enthrall him with.
He loves the one that has a picture of a girl with curly hair. He kicks his legs and get real excited when i read to him. It must be the combination of sounds, colours and pictures that get him all pumped up. Which explains why.......
he prefers looking at the TV than anything else! We have recently discovered that he's becoming a lil TV addict! Oh No! But really, we can't help it. Even when we turn his entire body away from the TV, he has discovered incredible ways of contorting his body to crane his head towards the goggle box. Dang! So now, i switch off the TV whenever i discover that he's stealing a peek. Too young to start getting spaced out by TV, i say!
The 1st one is such a precious photo! Nay, I wouldn't bother about the "genius" bit quite yet. Just integrating and sharing your life with him would be education enough.
ReplyDeletehi thanks! by the way, are u the lady in the MIM cd demonstrating how to use the sling???
ReplyDeleteyah lor
ReplyDeletecool! cos i wanna hang out with more moms who use slings so i can learn all the ways quickly. i'm quite bad at following instructions via CD and hope to find out if there's a 'support' group for moms in sling! please advise! tks!
ReplyDeletehang out, ah? Pam just did a babywearing session last Saturday as part of the Joyful Parenting New Moms' Support Group..... Hmm... we used to gather with some parents together for tea time or lunch just to yak yak and "brush-up" on slinging & breastfeeding in public. Very casual, like we just gather a few moms or so and anyone who wants to come can, just have to agree on the location. But that was on the parenting group I am on. I guess some moms would still love doing that.
