2005.05.09 - truman, the amazing child who plays by himself -
I'm sitting at my laptop, paying bills and answering emails (and oh, yes, blogging) sans baby. How could I be so cruel? I'll tell you how. My baby plays by himself. Yep. He's 11 days old today, and he plays by himself.
He's lying on his back in the frog gym given to us by Aunt Betsy. Happily waving his arms and his legs in that motion I know oh-so-well from when it was on the inside and a lot less charming. Every once in a while he yawns or hiccups, then waves his arms and legs some more. It's truly charming.
The first few times he did this, I sat next to him, amazed and watching his every cute movement. Now I'm using his "playtime" as a time to clean the living room, do so work that takes both hands. Will life with Truman really be this easy?
It's further proof that this child is the most zen baby ever.
