Fun with daddie

Last weekend was fun bonding time between Nathan and daddie.

Mummie went out to have her pedicure while Nat stays home with dad. And boy, did they have a jolly good time! It's quite easy with him these days. From day 1, he plays independently. The baby sitter usually sits around and makes sure he'e kept out of danger. I have to take the initative if I want him to play with me. But he would rather explore on his own, cos he probably knows mums always wants him to acquire some kind of skills during play. And, he loves watching the cartoon, 'wheels on the bus'. His eyes would be glued to the tv for a good 1/2 hr or more if I hadn't restricted him. TV is good company when I need to cook or do housework.


It was also the first time Chong bathed Nathan. It was quite an adventure for him. It's getting more fun to bathe him as he becomes more active, splashing water about, tries to stand on his feet in the tub and doing little somersauts, turning in the water. I'm sure he will have even more fun in a larger tub.

Nathan managed to finally use the walker effectively. He was walking in and about for a long time. He is excited that he is able to walk 'on his own' without hand holding any one of us. He looked so cute with his head drenched with seat from the walking. I don't know where I can contain him when he really starts to walk, or even run. Bishan park all day long?

One of the greatest joys from staying home is to watch him grow and change, acquire new skills, get things done and simply, just watch him play with his toys, the ways he handles them, picks them up, throws them about, crawls after the rolling bottle or ball. He entertains me the entire day. How blessed am I!
