Bekah - The Flavour of the Day

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my page! Very exciting and encouraging. Been looking forward to adding to my 'diary' tonight.

Bekah seemed to be the hot favourite today. This morning Maria made her a tent while she sat in her swing, and Sam decided to play cars with her. The tent consisted of a blanket over the top of our mechanical swing, and playing cars consisted of Sam 'Ka-chow Ka-powing' his Lightning McQueen little matchbox car in her face. I tried to distract them in vain and all attempts of explaining that Bekah is too little to play cars and to camp out in tents resulted in deaf ears.

Sam then decided to sing her a song - 'Bananas in Pajamas....stairs. Bananas in Pajamas....stairs.' She quite enjoyed it until '....stairs' became feet through the playpen and very close to her face. Maria then took charge, booted Sam out of the way and very kindly hung up some of Bekah's toys on the side of the playpen with pipe cleaners. However, the weight of the toy and the load bearing capacity of the pipe cleaner were not taken into consideration and the hanging toys very quickly became floor toys again.

Ever serene Bekah patiently bore her siblings attempts to 'play' with her, egging them on with big smiles and laughs. Mummy on the other hand had to end the bonding session after she foiled attempts at a playpen coup when she noticed Sam trying to scale the walls and Maria assessing how to tunnel in.
