    Wink Does your bub clean the carpet for you?

    LOL, I just watched Jazz roll and wriggle her way to this ONE TINY LITTLE SPECK of fluff on the carpet and spend 5 minutes trying to pick the fluff off the carpet and then play with it.

    Oh, yeah, sure I should have gotten it out of her hand, but aside from that...

    How funny is it that they have all these bright and colourful things, and a teeny tiny bit of white FLUFF is enough to get her moving around the room and entertain her for ages!

    She'll also manage to find my hair in the carpet (not all that hard really but anyway...) and then scrape her fingers across until she gtes it all wound up in her hand and fingers, and that'll entertain her for ages too...

    Sometimes I wonder whats going through her head, to make fluff and hair more entertaining than this cute little dinosaur that laughs!

    Yeah, it amazes me too. They always manage to find the odd crumb or something that's been accidently missed while cleaning up. lol.

    Yep!! It is the learning of the use of the pincher grip. DD2 still does it occasionally but does tend to race around too fast to notice now.

    it's wonderful watching them develop in this way, my DS's latest cleaning trick is using his tongue to clean everything from the tiles to the chairs and even the bin so lovely

    LOL that was when I stopped trying to sterilise Yasin's dummies - it seemed so pointless.

    I think EVERYTHING in our house has been in Jack's mouth at some stage, LOL. Our house is all tiles and he'll be crawling along then just suddenly stop, put his head down and start licking the floor!! Cracks me up every time....he even does it at the beach, sticks his whole face in the sand and licks it! Ewwwww.

    My place looks clean, food's cleaned up after meals. But he can still run round the house and find yesterdays toast somehow (and not from the bin!)
