When I came home from my surgery, there was a knock at our front door. My sweet friend, Danielle, and her family had sent me a get well goody basket. So sweet!
Calum loved the balloons that came with the basket. He would stare at them, talk to them, and pretty much break his neck to look at them from wherever he was in the room.
One night we tied them to his foot (very loosely). He loved it and quickly discovered that shaking his leg would cause them to move. For several days after that he tried to shake his leg to move other things- like the hanging toys over his play mat. I think we accidentally conditioned him to think that leg shaking would make cool things occur. Oops! Glad it only lasted a few days.
We tied them to his pack-n-play where he sleeps, but he couldn’t handle the stimulation. He talked to them and never went to sleep, so we had to take them away.
Anyway, balloons are apparently the best gift ever as far as Calum is concerned.
