I have bought my little man a doll, although we are calling it "baby". So far baby has been mostly ignored until last night. Little man saw his bouncy chair in the spare room and ran to get baby and put the baby in it. He then got a blanket, covered the baby with it and said de-dah to it (de-dah means bye bye). This morning he saw baby and he to bring it down for breakfast, he then forgot about it for a while.
Baby is using reusable nappies (hankies!) which little man is desperate to try and put on, he gets his bottom wiped with a baby wipe quite often too! He also gets given juice by his "big brother"! Then he is forgotten about again in place of his trains and diggers.
We're just letting him play with it when he wants and not making a big deal out of it really. My mum was very bemused though!

My little man has a doll but all she does is sit on the shelves modelling a mini version of the green jumper I knitted him. If he does take any interest it's in poking her eyes as they automatically shut when you lie her down.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, forgot about the eye poking he's done that one. Makes me wonder if they'd do that to a real baby?!
ReplyDeleteMy baby boy has a rag dolly with orange, curly woolen hair. When he picks her out of the toy box, he begins to dance. This is because it is my cue to sing "Miss Polly had a dolly". This is all we do with her though! She loves a good dance :-)
