Ways To Amuse a Baby - Part 2

Baby and me are back in action! This time we present to you:

1. Ballroom dancing

Hold baby in position, and play some swaying kind of music. Put one of baby's hands on your shoulder, hold the other hand... And sway... This is heaven.

2. One...Two..Three.......JUMP

This requires a baby who likes to climb (and fall). This type of baby is usually referred to as "Hey Monkey", rather than by his or her real name. Anyway, here is how to make falling fun.

Before you let your baby do this, read these VERY IMPORTANT instructions:

• Don't try this if your sofa doesn't have a nice flat broad backrest. How broad depends on the broadness of your baby's backside.
• Make sure your baby is a monkey. Non-monkeys HATE this game.
• Sofa seat should be soft and one single unit - no separate cushions.
• Sofa MUST stick to a wall.
• And use a BIG sofa, please.

OK. Here's the fun part. Perch baby on top of the backrest. It will be amusing to see the half confused, half frightened, half excited face. (OK, one-third of each) If baby is an aforementioned monkey, it wont be long till he/she jumps onto the seat with glee. After some time, a really really monkeyish baby will learn to climb on to the backrest himself - first maybe with the help of a pillow or a big teddy bear, later all by himself. And the result, most likely, will be this:
