Self Discovery

After Baby Dhiren got his strength back, he has been busy roaming around the house and discovering new things and new places to play.


I've been sitting back, observing and letting him touch & discover new things which i think is good for his development. Curiosity encourages him to discover and learn.


As Baby Dhiren grows, he is getting more active, so keeping an eye on him is important. He'll not sit still, even with all his toys to play. It was kind of fun at first , whenever i go to the kitchen, he would follow; when i go to the bathroom to get ready for his bath, he would crawl in, commando style all the way to see what I'm doing. But when i cook i have to constantly get him out of the kitchen or sometime i just give in and make him sit in his Bumbo chair in the kitchen with me. But lately, he been forcing his way out of the chair.....so we have no choice but to look for a playpen to lock him away.

We were shopping around for a playpen. At first we wanted a conventional playpen where Baby can play & sleep inside but after seeing a playpen that double up as a room divider at Mothercare we changed our mind. We ended up getting a similar one from Lindam which was RM200 cheaper and it's easy to use, can be folded for storage. Great value for money.

In my mother's generation, they tend to be more protective of their children. Climbing up and down touching & grabbing stuff around the house is a big no no. But being a modern day Mum, i will not discourage this but I clearly understand that it can sometime be dangerous for Baby so full supervision is a must. Our eyes should always be on Baby, but unless we have to walk away then make sure Baby is happy in his cage....ops, i mean playpen :)
