...but I shudder to think what may have happened if he wasn't 'discovered' right then!Do you know something else that surprised me today? Jasper had a swimming lesson so as usual Remmy took him in the water while I watched from the sidelines (I feel it's a bit hot for my pregnant self in that water plus I don't like my chances of finding bathers to flatter! ha ha). One mother came up to me afterwards and praised Jasper on doing really well today, and another came up to me and told me how much Jasper loves the social aspects of the lessons! I nodded in agreement but secretly wondered if she was referring to a different Jasper. I questioned Remmy about this once we'd left and yes, apparently he is a little social butterfly and his very own mother didn't know! Apparently the reason he's often crying throughout the lessons is because he wants to interact with the other babies/toddlers/older kids hanging around on the pool steps! At mother's group he is usually the one off to the side playing by himself quietly (or screaming because someone doesn't want to give him their food/drink!) so it's no wonder I thought he was more independant! I would always do my best to nurture social skills in Jasper (as I would any other skill) but I'll be paying particular attention now that I'm aware he has a natural interest. Despite my feeling sad I didn't see this first, I'm so proud that his little personality is coming out.
We finally bought some removalists boxes today. It's hard to believe that this time next week we will be living in our very own house! Man have we got some work to do!
