I have no idea where he gets it from...
And since I've been off work and he's been at home with me instead of at nursery he has become increasingly hard to entertain. He has little interest in his toys and will stand by the front door pretty much from the moment he wakes up because he is so desperate to go out!
So, when him and SB were napping at the same time (a rarity in this house) I baked a batch of vanilla cupcakes, and made some icing for him to play with.
Mummy: Come on BB, it's time to wake up now angel.
BB: No. I'm sleeping. *rolls away from me*
M: BB, you've been asleep for ages, come downstairs with mummy.
BB: No.
M: Okay, well mummy has made cakes, so I guess I'd better go and eat them by myself.
BB: Cake? I'm coming too, mummy!
I just used a basic vanilla cupcake recipe, nothing fancy and took me five minutes to whip up. The icing was just icing sugar and water, he took a bit of guidance showing him how to drizzle it onto the cakes and then showing him how to sprinkle the hundreds and thousands on top but he really enjoyed it! It kept him occupied for ages, and although it was messy he had lots of fun!
This is the finished product! I wasn't allowed to take a picture until he'd tasted one, and he approved. Muchly. He also really enjoyed giving daddy, nanny and pappy one too!
This is happy cake face. It's much nicer than bored whiny face.
Thinking of more new and exciting ideas to entertain my gorgeous boy!
