two little boys on the web
When I first came into the world everything was different and noisy and cold and I did not like it. Then I found some things that I do like. I like it when Mum feeds me or holds me. I also like it when Dad smiles at me. So now I smile too.
In the first few days after I was born I was trying out how my face works. Sometimes I smiled a bit but I also frowned and also made fun shapes with my mouth. But now I smile when I see something I like. I even smile at Jay. I think he likes me because he hugs me a lot even though he is a bit rough sometimes. I smile when Mum or Dad pick me up because I like it. They must like it too because they always smile back at me. Sometimes when I smile at Dad he runs away to get a camera. But he always takes too long and I get tired. So when he finally takes a photo of me smiling it looks like this:
I like to hide. The best thing about hiding is that after you finish hiding you can come out and say boo! When I was little I used to hold up my hands to my face so nobody could see me and then take my hands away and say “ba-boo”. Mum and Dad were always so surprised. But now there are lots of other times when I can say boo.
After I have a bath Dad dries me with a towel. But sometimes I take the towel and use it to hide. I put the towel over myself and sit very still. Dad doesn’t know where I have gone! Then i pull the towel off and say “boo!” and Dad laughs.
