I know I have been away from my blog and that makes me feel like a bad parent. On the contrary, I have been a rather involved father. Hence the lack of time to write posts. I must say that numerous times I have written posts in my head but I guess that is not good enough. Need an app that takes thoughts out of head and puts them to electronic ink.
I left off writing when my man-cub was 4 plus. He was primarily a ‘hammer-head’ then. Would use his head in a sway and crash; wherever that would land him. Quite like an aggressive giraffe, albeit runted. He needed neck support when picked up or while in somebody’s lap.
He is 6 now. And he has gone from ‘hammer-head’ to ‘spring-head’. Remember those toys on your dad’s car dash that had a spring to their neck? Each movement or the gentle rumbling of the engine used to make those toys’ heads bob. Well, that is exactly what he does now. Bobs his head, whenever he is not horizontal.
My man-cub now tries to balance himself and is doing a fabulous job at that. He is inquisitive and curious With his head bobbing about, he manages to use it wherever he wants to. He could be following his mother, walking across the room or craning his head to see what song has been played, Mr Spring-Head is seeing the world through his eyes.
Wish I could get a recording of that! What a watch that would be!
