Why does my baby like computers?

“Why does my baby always want to bash my computer?”

Today we went to the doctor to check up on my chest infection which I thought was not necessary considering I was happy drinking amoxicillin three times a day. Although my nappies were less than happy to be threatened with bad aggressive wind and explosive poos.

As soon as we got in front of the doctor my mum forgot about my chest infection and asked “Why does my baby always want to bash my computer?”

This was a surprise I did not see this question coming, as I thought we were there for my chest infection.

At this question  the doctor slowly removed his glasses and closed his eyes, taking a slow deep breath to relax. How many of these questions did he have that day? Considering my Mommy is quite an educated and down to earth person, I worry about the doctor’s precious time management.

Mommy can you hear me: Do you know how much this type of question costs the NHS?

The question was nothing. The doctor actually replied. “Well, you know babies are babies sometimes they do thing we can’t really explain. Maybe you should ask him why he does that!”

Yes this was a great answer.And Mommy if you were to ask me I would reply as such:

“Mommy whom I love with all my heart. It is completely unfair that a piece of plastic with a screen and keyboard turns you away from me even for few seconds. I want your full attention, every single second of the day.

Look at me when I cry at your feet while you are on the computer, these are real tears, and not crocodile tears. I feel torn inside. Give it to me and I will bash this keyboard out with your new iphone.”

Note to Mommy: No this computer for toddlers will not trick me either. I want your computer to bash.

ps:I love you mommy

Remember yesterday, the part where I cried all morning. I also cried all afternoon at my mommy’s feet just to be carried.

Later that day, Daddy came back from work. “The baby is hot!” He said to Mommy. “Have you given him any medicine?”

I stopped crying and sighed with relief, finally someone was listening to me. I am sure this happened to you to. You spend all day and all night crying but nobody thinks of asking you this simple question: How do you feel baby?

Mommy opened her eyes quite wide. “The baby has a temperature?” She repeated slowly. “I did not realise.  He cried all day but I just thought he was under the weather.” She sighed.” Oh it must just be his teeth let’s give him the usual medicine.” She added.

When I heard that I stuck close to my Daddy… Mommy just had no idea what was going on with me today.

One hour later, despite the medicine. My official temperature was 39.4 degrees.

“Hmm the baby still looks off colour, we should be thinking of going to the hospital.”

Mommy “Oh no rush, it must be his teeth. Let’s just wait another hour.”

Daddy shook his head. He was not convinced, neither was I. So I did what I had to do: I rolled my eyes, and stopped playing. Suddenly they knew I meant business, especially Mommy. They threw me in my car seat and Daddy drove very fast to take me to the hospital.  When we arrived there my temperature was up to 40.1 degrees. Mommy pulled her hair with guilt and Daddy sighed with relief. And me, I was happy I rolled my eyes, there is nothing like a good show for people to start believing you.

Note to all my baby followers: At the next chest infection cry, roll your eyes but most importantly stop playing.

Note to Daddy: I love you Daddy. Thanks for listening.
