Activities

Ironically, I've never been very good with children, let alone, babies. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been allowed near anyone's newborn until my own...(Hmmmm). Anyway, this week, Nabí´s orchestra has been taking him far away to exotic and exciting lands such as Lleida (sarcasm intended), Tarragona, and of course, my favorite, Girona. This leaves me with many hours of idle time, waiting to be passed in fun, challenging, educational, but not frustratingactivities.

To my dismay, Mia has never showned much interest in any conventional toys, I´ve tried organic dolls, wooden rattles and teething thingies, I´ve even broken down and let her play with an ocassional plastic toy, just to see...to no avail. So, what DO you do with a 5-month baby all day who doesn´t like toys ...
Here we go:
let´s try papa´s open cello case...who needs teething toys when you can have a travel case?
ok, five minutes are up, time to move on...
toy number two...

aaaah, mama´s getting creative...(don´t ask why I still have Mardi Gras beads from high school, but there you go, I ´recycle´)
a girl who loves shiny things
and the way they taste...
and they way they sound when you bang them around on the floor...
who would´ve known? plastic beads, a stimulant to all senses...

oooo, pretty blue...
incidentally, Mia really likes Beethoven sonata in C major, Op. 3 no.3, particularly the third movement
papa came home to take a quick photo...and left
so, grand aunt Coloma came, and well, Mia is tired from so many non-toy activities :)
Good night, all, may you sleep with the small angels~~
