Yes, my friends, her best friend is her play mat. And, it has also become my best friend because it allows me to get things done. All I have to do is check in here and there, give a big smile, and squeal some lovely delights her way. She then kicks and smiles and carries on like her and Mat have things to do.
It's amazing to me the simplicity a baby requires. All she needs is some color, music, and a few textures and voila....MIND BLOWN!!!
As a first time mom, I would feel guilty for leaving Amelie in her mat, like I wasn't giving her enough attention. But I've realized that babies let you know when they need you. I think Brielle needs more attention than Amelie did and Amelie is still very independent. It takes more of my time to keep Brielle happy, but I'm embracing it because she is the sweetest and smiley-est baby I've ever known. I'm literally falling in love with her. I think it's healthy to admit that it takes time to connect with your children and I'm loving the connection that she and I are forming.
Thanks Mat for helping me every day to get things done around the house and keeping my little B happy :)
