play'g the flute, self feed whole yoghurt


He can play the flute now... he managed to seal his lips and blow air into it. The house has so much noise now as he is blowing air into the flute, party whistle, other toy whistles and the toy harmonica.

I have enjoyed the time going out with Jasper a lot more because he is acting more like a little human. I bought a little double pack of yoghurt from the supermarket and I handed the original packaging to him while being seated in the stroller just to keep his mind occupied. Before I realised it, he removed the cardboard packaging, cracked the two tubs into two single tubs, peeled open the top of the yoghurt tub and was licking the paper peel. I had to rush to the nearest coffee shop asked for a plastic spoon they can spare me, he then got off the pram and sat himself on the bench, spooning away the tub of yoghurt until there was nothing left in the tub. He wasn't buckled up at all but he sat down quite well, no running around. The next thing was even more impressive, he was holding the empty plastic tub and spoon asking where the bin was, I looked for the bin about 5 metres away and his eyes followed my gaze (seemed to figure out where i was looking), before I managed to say a word he was already off on the floor running towards the bin and threw the rubbish in then ran back to me. I got a wet tissue wipe and help him clean his lips and hands, he then ran to the bin again and dispose of the wet tissue and then ran back to me. The next thing.. he climbed up in the pram and buckled up himself, very little physical effort required from my side.
