On Monday the Stunt Boy struck again. He fell off a section of the adventure playground at the 5 year old’s school. He hit his ribs on a circular piece of wood and landed on the floor. Winded and clearly in agony I wondered if I should take him to the hospital.
Once home the crying subsided, he ate some chocolate and went off to play on the trampoline. This confirmed that he hadn’t broken anything and I didn’t have to spend 4 hours waiting in A&E whilst he jumped off the furniture.
Later he wanted to watch TV and got snuggled up on the sofa with Lulu.
I sat next to him and he put his feet on my lap. I gave his feet a tickle and he said …
“Hit my feet like Grandpa does”
So I patted his feet gently.
“NO! Harder like Grandpa does and on the bottom” he demanded.
So I slapped the soles of his feet as he relaxed and watched Mister Maker.

When the Queenager was a very collicky baby, the thing I finally found would quieten her very quickly was to lie her on my lap (head at my knees) and massage her feet rather forcefully. Can’t say I ever slapped them but I can definitely see where his comments were coming from!
Nothing like a bit of rough and tumble, I hear.
Judging by your latest video I should be getting out the wrapping paper!
So sweet, in a wierd way. Mind you Baby Boy likes me to nibble on his feet as he goes to sleep…
Teh things we do for our children …
I’m SO into following stunt boys progress. He’s like a mini Colt Seavers!
I’m sure there will be more Stunt Boy antics soon … watch this space
Each to their own sweetie!
That’s what’s worrying!
Stunt boy sounds awesome.
Glad he is ok x
He is awesome, but I have my heart in my mouth whenever he is moving at speed … which is most of the time
Hehehee! What a funny thing to relax him.
I used to make my Grandma tickle my feet and scratch my back.
he lieks his back tickling too … that is normal … the slapping of feet though? It’s just not right
Glad he was ok. SOunds like you have a masochist in the making there!
Yes, is a tad worrying!
