Does it go hand in hand? Once
Mika has gotten the hang of smiling intentionally, that’s about the mark where
he learned to pretend-cry. It’s quite a sight, especially at 11 months his gums
are swollen with tell-tale signs of his buckteeth ready to pop out. He would
scrunch his face, and lift his lips upwards to his nose and the sight of empty
gums would readily make me smile. He cried for attention. Such a joker. People
who are used to Mika will wonder when was it that he now knows how to cry on
demand? What an irony, to learn to pretend-cry and smile in the same day. But
my baby’s temperament is one to beat. He hardly cries, and really knows how to
play by himself. Occasionally during the mornings he would demand a bit more
clingy time and would be pleased with himself if we carried him to make
breakfast, brush our teeth..open the fridge (a favourite!) sometimes I would
put him down in front of the fridge and let him play with the parsely...
His teeth came out late
relatively compared to all his cousins. About 12 months of age. That’s when his
bottom incisors popped out 2 at a time. A malay saying is that if the upper
teeth came out first, then the child will grow up to be a bit more snobby.
Humbug to sayings, especially of that sort!
