Edward and the Bees

As you may have read on Sarah’s blog, Edward loves to play The Bee Game. We tie a robe sash to one of his arms or legs and he gets to wiggle his bee mobile around. It’s like a videogame, but with better physics. He really likes to figure out which limb is controlling the bees, then keep perfectly still until the bees have stopped swinging, then unleash a big wiggle to shake them all around. He’s even started to hold down the foot connected to the bees with his other foot, for maximum bee stability.

Other cute things Edward is up to:
  • He giggles an adorable “heh heh heh” giggle when he’s very entertained by something
  • He’s got some serious foot control while kicking around his tethered plastic ball:
    • He’ll poise one foot just next to the ball and wait for it to be still, then kick it.
    • He’ll grab the ball between his two feet and swing it around.
  • He’s discovered that he has feet, and is fascinated by them, especially when he can grab them.
  • He’s learning to program (that initial page turning is all him, he loves to play with books):
