Play Time!

22 June 2008

Thank you Lord! Not only did Max get a clean bill of health from the neurosurgeon on Friday, but he also slept through the night. He didn't wake until 6:30am, and then went back until 8:30. This is why I'm not only relaxed, but coherent. A true first for 2008.

After my breakfast, during which Max happily bopped in bouncy seat, we had our first real play time together. While he laid on his back, I moved his feet in the bicycle motion and called out, "Maximilian, Tour de France, Tour de France!" Then he would swim the Iron Man, no the Iron Baby. We sang Patty-Cake and the Wheels on the Bus. Every so often, I would role him over, so he could do a push up in Tummy Time. What made this play time was his face. He really connected with me and was smiling the whole time. He thought Mommy was silly when she blew raspberries on his belly.
