Continuing off my blog post last week on Friso Gold about introducing your child to new things, I’ve been trying to ask myself, what has Fighter learned today?
Ok today! Got something new! Today I took him to the supermarket. Usually if I go buy groceries I leave him at home with nanny cos it’s just much easier for me to run out myself, grab the groceries and rush home. But I thought, aiya poor Fighter has been home all day and what’s a little extra time and baggage (carrying him lol) for him to go out and see things?
So okay! Packed up the nanny and him and off we went to the mall.
He loved it!!! I felt a bit bad for not doing this earlier. 🙁
I put him in the trolley and immediately he started turning his head left and right, wide-eyed. He absorbed everything!
He gripped the trolley handles and scrutinized the metal bars.
He kept swiveling around to look at the colorful packages on the shelves as we rolled past.
I pointed out signs and labels to him and he looked intently at them. Then drooled a bit. Lolol.
I gave him two packets of cheese with different packaging and he stared at them with super interest hahaha. And then he tried to chew on one of them. >_>
But the point is! I brought him somewhere new and he was so enthralled! I really wish I did it earlier but at the same time I’m glad I did it now. All the mundane boring things that we adults take for granted, kids absorb in wonder and it was actually very fun for me to look at the supermarket through a toddler’s eyes. All those shiny bottles and bright lights! The sudden cold coming from the meat freezers!
Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos this time cos my hands were busy pushing the shopping cart. Also very scared to take my hands off it in case somebody snatches him away. >.> (normally when we take him out he’s in the stroller and strapped in securely)
But I do have this video! Playing tickle monster with Fighter hehehe.
When I did this to Fighter for the first time he shrieked with laughter, probably out of reflex and also astonishment. He started laughing like crazy for a brief moment at the new yet foreign sensation. After that, he tried so hard to flip over so his stomach is out of reach hahahahaha.
So what has your child experienced today? 🙂
