New Toy

Stella received a new toy brought home by her daddy last night. Well, she didn't get to play with it cos it was way past her bedtime so we kept it from her. It was a set of 3 mirrors with spinning wheels to be attached to her cot.

This morning eager beaver mummy unwrapped it and placed it by her bedside and she loved it! She played at it for a record time of one hour. Even when she cried, it was softer and quieter. Maybe, she saw how ugly she looked when she cried.

In baby childcare books, apart for the standard reasons babies cry [hunger, soiled diapers, discomfort] there was always one that I find hard to comprehend. That was BOREDOM. Man, how are first time parents like us supposed know when the cause is boredom? We are often stuck at hunger and discomfort.

Well, this first time mummy is learning new things everyday.
