My partner is overly anxious about our child safety often worrying about things to an unhealthy extent. When sitting the infant up their head moved “too quickly” making my partner worry. After having to say multiple times the child is obviously fine, the child stood up and starts slamming their head into the bed, thinking it’s a game. They’d stand up and jump backwards onto the soft bed. Then sit up and slam their head forward. Just fun rough play at this age. I belly laughed harder than I have in a least two years.
After frequently “getting in trouble” over minor things like this, it just made me lose it that my child did the exact action my partner worried so much about but 30x more forceful because they thought it was funny. Hahaha! Infants are actually hilarious and make the first year of pain worth it.
Just now I hugged my child and said say daddy 叫爸爸 they then build up such a forceful “baba” that it takes them 10 seconds before they release their lips like a sneeze that makes you freeze.
Yesterday they also got upset to the point of crying that I wouldn’t let them have their infant scissors but they finally got to them when I wasn’t looking. Then when I caught them, instead of crying again they played it off smoothly by acting like they picked them up to give them to me lol
