天才爸爸 Clever Daddy

都說一個領域的新人常常能帶來從所未有的創意 - 作爲新手爸媽,爸爸媽媽的創意也不少- 有些讓阿公阿媽姨婆舅公們覺得有意思,有些則讓大家想要想要敲我們兩個的大頭。

不過既然這篇是媽媽寫的,就出出爸爸的糗吧。。。哇哈哈哈。以下兩篇其實還蠻天才的呢。


1。媽媽懷孕的時候讀到,有的嬰兒一點點光就會七早八早的起床。爲了不要早上四點就被小孩叫起來,很有遠慮的請新店阿媽搞來一大捆不透光的窗簾布,煞有介事的跟爸爸商量:“你看我們要不要換過臥房的窗簾啊?”

天才爸爸想都不想就說:“不用吧,如果是怕小孩見到光會太早起來,就拿那塊布把他蓋起來就好啦。”

哈哈哈哈。。。連換窗簾都免了,很有創意的吧!

(後來Hannah其實是個肚子餓或睡飽了才起床的體貼甜心,到目前爲止光線對她好像不怎麽影響睡眠,倒是媽媽爲了喂母奶,每天兩三點就要起床。。。也不用等到四五點太陽出來了。陽光根本是個次要問題。。。慘慘慘:P)


2。Hannah從滿兩週開始,就表現出對身邊事物環境的無限好奇。睡飽了就要人帶她到處看,從不同角度看身邊的事物,環境。她會用腳腳踢踢要人換地方,會啊啊啊的要我們把她抱高一點(視野比較好),會想辦法將她的小腦袋晃到不同的角度(換肩膀等),就為了把身邊的事物看個清楚。不順她的意,她就眼淚汪汪的抗議。她抗議的樣子標準的好笑,一手握拳高擧亂揮,嘴巴大聲啊啊叫,再不理她就會開始踱腳噴淚了,真是笑果一流。

我們雖然欣喜她對世界的好奇,但是整天當小胖丫頭的“人馬”真是累啊。小胖丫頭才不管你現在是在忙什麽,說要逛街,就是現在、馬上、立刻。。。爾等不得拖延偷懶。

有天在新店阿媽家才開晚飯,躺在桌上的小胖丫頭就開始啊啊叫了,媽媽跟爸爸說:“她想要換角度看了,你去抱她吧。”

爸爸靈機一動:“我知道了,下次去買一個圓桌轉盤,吃飯把她放上面,大家夾菜時轉來轉去,她就可以一直換角度,我們就可以安靜吃飯了。”

我的老公太有才了!!!

附上爸爸幫Hannah拍嗝的照片,很有架勢吧!


New people often bring new ideas to a field. Well, as rookies in the field of parenting, we've got plenty of creative ideas - some win more approval than others; and some are just plain funny. Since Mommy is the one writing the blog, let's just share a couple of Daddy's creative ideas for laughs.

1. Before Hannah was born, Mommy had heard that children would sometimes get up too early (and, therefore, get their parents up too early) if their bedroom windows let in too much sun. To prevent this serious problem, Mommy quickly secured a large roll of 100% light proof window treatment fabric and consulted with Daddy: "What do you think? Should we change our drapes?"

Hannah's brilliant dad: “No. We just have to cover her with that fabric."

I guess that would indeed be less work.

2. Hannah's curiosity became evident to all her caretakers 2 weeks after birth. She would really study her environment, make people take her to see new rooms or different angles of the same room and even swing her head so she might get a different/better view.

In case you might have trouble understanding her, she would kick, yell, wave, cry ... until you oblige. "Thou shalt not be dumb or slothful." says her Highness.

Everyone in the house is Hannah's human horse now - make no mistake, it's a ton of work to endlessly carry a wiggly 5kg+ baby everywhere - no bathroom break, no meal time, no sitting down for a little bit ...no slacking.

One night when Hannah started yelling during dinner at Grandma's place, Mommy turned to Daddy: "She wants to see from a different angle now, could you take her around?" 

A light bulb went off in Daddy's head: "We need to get a lazy susan and put her on it. This way, she'll be exposed to all sorts of angles as everyone turn that thing to get their food ... and we will actually be able to eat!”

Hahaha...

I married a genius.

Below are pics of Daddy giving Hannah a spanky (burping her). He's pretty good, huhh?!
