In the last few weeks, little e discovered his boy parts. Since then, he's spent a great deal of time fiddling with them while mama changes his diaper. While I'm certainly not going to stop him, how much fiddling time should a mom allow before completing the diaper change and cutting the fun short?
Let this serve as further proof that the kid is ALL BOY. He is, in fact, every little-boy cliche rolled into one:
His favorite toy is the ball. We could play ball for hours -- just tossing it back and forth -- and sometimes we do. This, in itself, is a bit peculiar, because his parents are not what you'd call sports enthusiasts. So, it's not like we encourage it. Yet, if this keeps up, our future will no doubt be filled with football games and the like. You rah, rah, Raisin!!!!
Then there's the lip-motor noise as he drives his cars and trains across the floor. Where did that come from? A few weeks ago, they had a "Little Tykes" tugboat at ECFE class. I put him in the seat and he immediate grabbed the steering wheel, shifted the gears and made motor noises like he had been driving for years. And that was the first time he'd ever even been behind a steering wheel (unless he's been taking the car for a spin after we fall asleep).
And how about the rough-and-tumble way he attempts to dive off the bed or sofa -- nevermind if we're holding on to him. And the chucking of the toys across the room. What would that be without the impending crash-landing on the hardwood floors?
It's only a matter of time before dinosaurs enter the picture.
