I am not retired, yet. But, lately, I do not have the weekends or weekdays. I do one thing and only one thing. Look after my baby. Looking after the baby sounds simple but it may bring many challenges that require me to do so many other things. Yet, all day today I have been watching my baby's back. Quite Literally 😇
It is fun to watch his back and see him play with his toys. Although, he never likes to play with the things we bought for him. He enjoys things that are exotic and "not safe for babies" (NSFB) - mobile chargers, spoons, glasses, pens and you name it.
So, the weekend is sharing time and space with my kid. Monday will bring the same "watching the baby back" and saving from NSFB again. My wife will go back to work on Mondays and it will be our son and I - together- enjoying the rest of the week.
Happy weekend to fellow hivians.
It's funny how kids will find enjoyment from such strange things. When. My Nephew we here we got him some toys...He got more enjoyment from the boxes they came in!
It's fun to watch kids explore and learn things though, everything is a new wonder, a new experience. I think it's a good way to spend some time for you.
Thanks for joining in this week!
!ENGAGE 25
Yes, we were surprised and sad that he was not enjoying the toys we bought. You can see in the picture how he ie enjoying the Lego bag than the Legos themselves. My wife was so keen on buying toys for the kid. Now, we confidently say that we can raise a kid with plastic bags and shiny colourful wires.
As you said, the satisfaction is in seeing him engaging with different things and identifying colours, textures and patterns in them.I am glad that I have the luxury to be on parental leave and spend some quality time with him.😀
I am glad that I managed to beat the time difference and join the weekend engagement fun.
I think kids learn more when they can make their of fun up rather be told that's a block, now build with it. you know? I was that way as a kid as ,my parents couldn't really afford much in the way of toys. We made our own fun and I think that inquisitive nature stuck with us.
ENGAGEtokens.It always does my heart good to see a kid playing with the bag or the box. To me it signifies that the kid's imagination is at full tilt. A great place!
Chargers and knives and such not so much :)
Hope he is doing the same and being creative with those boxes. Somedays, it is tough to remain vigilant with items he is playing with. And, that allows to go overboard with mobile chargers and other risky items.😀 Dad life at its best
Yep. You just can't watch them every second, you just have to have faith that he's going to be OK when you have to sneeze or something.
I agree. But, i am still developing the confidence to leave him on his own out of my sight. Till now, i want him under my watchful eyes every second of the day 😀 i know that's not sustainable
