I love to watch Cutie Pie discover new things. He seems to be growing up so fast. Just a few short months ago, he was fascinated by the little toys that hung from his bouncer. Now, I'm lucky if anything captures his attention long enough for me to make the bed. Unfortunately, not all of Cutie Pie's discoveries are good ones. Currently, Cutie Pie is discovering the blinds. No matter how many times I redirect his attention, he always crawls back to the window. The boy is fast! I've tried to block off the area with toys and furniture. He just regards this as his own personal obstacle course that must be conquered. Cutie Pie is determined to get those blinds no matter what!
Whenever I meet another Mommy, I always ask what toys their babies love to play with. I'm always looking for something that will entertain Cutie Pie for more than ten seconds. If the toys helps him develop motor skills or language that's a bonus!
So, I took Cutie Pie to our local consignment shop and let him play with the gently used toys to see what he went for. They frown on such things at Target, you know. Cutie Pie must have known I was watching. He didn't show particular interest in anything but the book shelves, which he used to stand up and cruise around the play area. Maybe I should stop worrying about toys and just buy a few more bookshelves!

I'm not just saying this because I'm Cutie Pie's grandma but he is a smart little boy! You are going to have to be on your toes to keep ahead of him. I know about this because I struggled to entertain a smart little girl not so very long ago.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure the bookshelves are secure and wont topple over him. You can always (I say this cringing) mount them to a wall.
ReplyDeleteI have one shelf on our entertainment unit that I'm thinking a water noodle would be perfect for...I'll just need to be creative a bit and cut it in a few spots. Abs is belly scooting, but I know she'll be into everything like CP soon enough.
