Playing with babies - whats normal?
in Baby
Hi all
Just wondering if this is normal or not!!!
Toby is generally very happy playing alone. We will take toys and books over to him and attempt to "play" with him, but he won't sit still with us for long before he wants to crawl away and play with something else.
We try and give him "calm down" time every night before his bath and let him watch some TV but he doesn't want too - he gets bored really quickly!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby and I both bore REALLY easily (LOL!!!!!!!) and so has he picked this up? Or is it normal that he's just happy playing on his own?
Nursery say he is VERY sociable there and always playing with his friends. They said he's one of the most socialable babies there.
Its just a lot of my friends babies when I see them, they sit and cuddle for ages but Toby just isn't interested - he just wants to go off and play!
Has he just got a short attention span or does he not like me?!?!?!?!
Don't get me wrong - there are times he wants us for company - he's going through a clingy phase right now and when he's tired or hungry, he won't leave us alone. After his bottles as well, well always have some time cuddling together whilst he plays a bit with the empty bottle.

He too is an independent little boy and i love seeing what he's going to get into next,he is at this moment pulling my blinds!! xx
She will play a bit at bedtime in her cot with me but overall she's constantly on the move ! I play with her when I can, hubby finds it really hard though think he'll play with her more when she's old enough to play the Xbox ! LOL
