Alone time
Every morning when Noah and I come downstairs, dressed too, which I consider a massive accomplishment on my part, I put Noah on his playmat while I get myself some breakfast. He used to cry the moment I put him down anywhere but a few weeks ago, probably at about ten weeks old or so, he started to actually like his playmat. He lays on his back and jiggles the rattle and holds the ring of rings and talks to himself. He occasionally stares at himself in the mirror too.
This is one of the first times that I have left Noah to play with himself. Not to be confused with just simply leaving him all neglectful like, which I haven’t done. Yet.
I am nearby and often sitting just next to him, like right now. I think it is important for him to learn to play by himself. How many of you have done this? Do you leave your baby to play by himself?
