Currently, my days are mainly spent playing cricket, football, cars or watching Thomas the Tank Engine. Oh yes, this boy is conforming to gender stereotypes at a young and tender age. Cricket and football are major obsessions (both watching and playing). Jack is a keen bowler (bowling with his right hand, batting with his left!) and many an hour is spend in the hallway with Jack's own interpretation of cricket (kind of a cross between cricket, hockey and football).
There are however, quieter moments. In fact, a popular new pastime is pretending to be asleep. Jack will lay his head on a pillow, or gather up a pile of clothes or teddies that he has strewn around the floor and snuggle saying 'na'night'. If he is really tired he will add a sorrowful 'peeeeeeseee' and beg for me to put him to bed for a sleep.
The best place to play the bedtime game is in My Big Bed. Jack asks to get in and play na'night. He snuggles down under the covers, says goodnight and proceeds to pretend to snore. He then orders me to get in too. Its a great game. All he demands of me is to lie next to him and pretend to be asleep!
[No photos I'm afraid as I can't photograph anything if I'm pretending to be asleep]
