Smelly Bundle Update!

A few quick explanations, I got the idea of doing thispurely as fun, I am trying to act in the role, of the old fashioned man, who has had no experience of childcare, and whose peaceful life has been ripped to shreds by the arrival of a small baby, I hate to admit this but I actually adore him. He is now ten months old, but his life has been truncated because I started to do this late. I love the feed back so those of you who read this please continue to post it! I hope he is bringing a bit of fun to you all!

Rupertramjet, as a non breeder I for one am really enjoying your 'Smelly Bundle' posts

In fact I'm now determined to stay alive for the next 18 years so I can follow the usual events of a boy child growing up......you know, getting expelled from school, stealing and wrecking your car, getting your neighbours daughter Agnes pregnant at 16 until you finally give up and kick him out of the house for smoking pot and joining a rock band called 'Spud'....

....or was that my life

Anyway, good luck and keep the posts coming

I was speed-reading your post and the phrase "life has been truncated" seared itself into my eyeballs.
Thank God a careful re-read proved that all was well

Smelly Bundle Update!

Firstly thanks for the various responses.

Not only has it become mobile, it has learnt to crawl, this is done at a rate which I find hard to credit, a split second and it is gone, sadly it is too cold to leave the front door open, in the hope that it will crawl off, in search of somewhere with more sympathetic keepers than me. Which may of course involve me crawling off to find somewhere offering sanctuary from the females of the house.

Smelly Bundle Update!

I think it has a sense of humour already! There I was in the Kitchen idly perusing the coffee as it dribbled slowly throught the filter,the coffee not the bundle, when it appeared from the lounge heading straight for the dogs water bowl. I picked it up and took it back to the lounge, a moment later it reappeared heading for the water bowl, chortling to itself, again I picked it up returned it, and again, this time laughing as soon as it saw me, it reappeared.

The poor long suffering dog now has that 'Why me?' look on her face, and you can tell she is thinking 'Why couldn't that nice hoody have bought me instead?'

Smelly Bundle up date!

Saw little of it today, had a funeral to attend, but to all intents and purposes it was dragged around Westfield, and was so disgusted with that and its food it threw it on the floor, now as far as I am concerned, it did not want anymore, so don't give it anymore, its owner apparently bought it more and shoved it into the black hole they call its mouth!

Smelly Bundle Update!

I am making efforts, under orders from Mrs R to 'bond' with it, my attempts so far have led to it blowing raspberries on demand. I blow raspberry it copies, now this skill has taken sometime to develop, and I have found the training hard. So justly proud of myself I demonstrated the feat. At first it was welcomed with the usual ohh and ahhh reserved by the females for the bundle, I am now getting dirty looks as we continue blowing at any occasion I feel like.

'Final comment tonight was could you not have taught him something useful?' Like what? The idiots guide to politics, or perhaps to read War and Peace!

What you should do is reply, "Alright, I will!" and then teach Smelly Bundle to poop every time you blow a raspberry.

This is an excellent idea! However, I regret that I am somewhat limited in my training abilities with anything but soldiers, who have no choice but to obey me. The bundle is somewhat limited in its ability to understand plain English, instead adapting a strange gurgling, hooting and squeaking language, which I have to date failed to find on babelfish. If anyone knows of a translator, I would be grateful!

This is always my way of making friends with babies - teach them to blow a raspberry. Then the next time they see you, they do it back to you. Doesn't seem to work so well at making friends with their mums though.
