Can you teach a baby to be competitive?
Many of you who know me and or my family will know how competitive we can be. We find just about any excuse to have a competition against each other or others. OR there is always the silent competitions…the ones where no one comes right out and says that you are in the middle of a competition, but secretly you all know what is going on!
Recently Ben and I had a couple of friends over to do some canning. They brought their baby along with them. He is adorable and 5 days older than Aubrey. I had a silent fight with myself while they were here. Baby Liam was awake a good majority of the time, while Aubrey slept. AND Liam showed off his sweet skills such as laughing, rolling over, babbling. This is where my competitive nature kicked in. Aubrey and I were going to have to have a chat when she woke up. We needed to talk about how she really needed to consider trying a laugh out or even rocking a bit while laying down.
I had to tell myself that well he IS 5 whole days older. AND Aubrey is just so happy and content to lay and smile and babble that she just didn’t NEED to learn how to roll or laugh for that matter! Sigh…I hope she gets Ben’s non-competitive nature…
Peace!
