It’s been a wonderful day playing with Jack! He discovered the joy of rhythmically banging on the chair cushion to make music. I cheerily joined him hitting a pen on the cotton bud container, and then the hubby joined in hitting the table. It was some rap-tribal music bash we had there. 
Later, as he watched me from the corner of his eye, I hid Humpty in his Dad’s side cupboard and then asked him, “Where’s Humpty, Jack?” He sat there for a while and without hesitation moved to the cupboard and opened it.
I did a little jig and then went to animate Humpty to thank him for finding her. He grabbed Humpty, kissed on her mouth several times and then put her one side but kept checking on her to make sure she was okay.

Now that Jack is older, I am sometimes lost on what to play with him. He is pretty independent with play, generally preferring to play on his own, his only requirement is that I am nearby. Still I would love to be able to show him new things and share in his joy of discovery.
In my Inbox this evening, this arrived: 20 fun, silly, development-boosting games to play with your baby.
I shall definitely try the Treasure Box again if he is so inclined. And also pouring water from cup to cup. The rest, he has played and is now bored with.
Today he had some bathtime and got to play with the new duck toy where I had filled water inside this inflatable duck and the fish, frog, butterfly (?), and dragonfly would float inside. He was entralled for 10 minutes patting on it and then it was over.
In the afternoon, he was fussy and rather grumpy. I read Little Fish to him several times until he was placated. He was amused that I hid in the tent for him to find me but otherwise played on his own.
