So it seems what they say about babies choosing the cardboard box over the flashy new toy, is true.
Except in my bub's case, he'd rather play with the bag containing his dirty nappy, or his dirty bib, or something with wires, or anything else I feel too guilty to let him play with.
Since becoming a mum I've found a lot of what they say about babies is true.
They put gooey hands on your face right after you've put your make up on, vomit on your new top and wake up just as you put the kettle on.
I've found that one smile from your baby can make your day, staring in to their eyes can melt your heart and hearing them cry can break it.
It's true that you never tire of watching your baby sleep and you'd give up everything to see them happy.
The cliches don't just apply to babies though...
They say new mums love to talk endlessly about life as a mum, sharing anecdotes that cause anyone other than those who can relate (and even some of them) to nod and smile politely as their mind drifts off to things they actually care about.
It appears that one is true too.

I still love watching bub sleep - the most amazing feelings of love, joy and pride come from watching such a simple thing.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest - he would much rather play with the christmas brochures than his toys, or Daddy's laptop, or any cable/handle/string left hanging off the table!
But I wouldn't have it any other way!
