There is a period in almost every baby’s life, when it gets interesting for them to throw all the things down again and again until their mommies are fed up with taking things up.
Maria started to do it, too. Oooops… Of course, it is not fun for me to give toys again to Maria, but when I see how curious she is and how much she likes it, it becomes fun for me, too. =)
Perhaps, one would think that I'm spoiling the child. Intuitively I believe, it is not like that. At this age the child is actively exploring the world and throwing away various things, which are falling down with different sounds, -it is part of this unavoidable process, it is crucial for personality development.
Another similar game (which is not that tiring, by the way) was shown to me by Maria recently. I’ve noticed she is very fond of throwing down every piece of cloths she sees. Now we spend much more time in the bathroom: I’m catching the towel thrown down by Maria, when she is sitting on my hands.
Probably, it is not a win-win situation for parent and a child, but it is definitely necessary for child’s development.
