So the baby is three weeks and three days old and sometimes he lifts his head, and I'll often praise him for it. Especially because sometimes it's inconvenient but I'm aiming for praising the good because he is not even a month old, obviously he can't actually do anything wrong.
When I say, "Good head lifting! So strong!" I sometimes get the Barenaked Ladies song What A Good Boy stuck in my head.
I sing to him a lot, but the unedited words don't seem appropriate for such a tiny baby, so I've been gradually filking it.
What A Good Boy (Sami Singing To A Newborn Version)
When you were born, we looked at you and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
And when you were born, we looked at you and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a pretty boy
You've got these hands hitting you in the face
They don't wanna do anything that it seems like you want to do
They push your food, they wave around
When you get control, that will be good
It's a work in progress.
Talking to babies is important, so I say a lot of nonsense at the moment.
The baby continues well. He is growing freakishly rapidly (I mean, at a normal rate, but at this age, that's freakishly fast.)
