A glorious triple.

Daddy feeds J the Jamaica Ginger Cake. He eats. He drools! All down Mummy's wrist, under the watch strap, under the cuff. What a wonderful result! Baby 1, Mother nil.

Mummy has J in the Flying Baby hold. What's this? A surreptitious drool. Straight onto the front! Look at that soggy patch. Baby 2, Mother nil.

Mummy holding J while he watches the Scrabble game. Her attention momentarily diverted; he possets. Look at the white patch. What fun. Baby 3, Mother nil.

Mummy takes J upstairs and loads him into his grobag. Sleep stopped play. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.

Dribbling 2 - refinements

Fellow babies. I have the pleasure to present two ways to extend your drooling repertoire.

1. Colourful drool. (only available to those being fed solids). I have discovered that if you hold a small amount of baby glop, or indeed a portion of the ever versatile rusk, then when you dribble it comes out as a coloured liquid. Instantly see where your drool is going! Extend your artistic range and marvel at the permanence of this technique.

2. Projectile drool. Simple yet effective: insert your fist in your mouth, feel free to have a comforting suck, then generate some drool and remove your fist. The trick is in the flick of the fist as you take it out of your mouth. Practice. The worst that can happen is that you have an enjoyable suck of a paw and then have to feed sooner. Once mastered this technique can snare even the most wary parent.

Have fun. Try combining the two. Best wishes my comrades in nappy wearing.

Dribbling

Dribbling is one of the great skills of being a baby and I, though I say so myself, am an expert. There are many aspects to having a good drool. Firstly the consistency. I prefer a viscous mixture that gives good strong bubbles or trailing strands. Secondly the shape - I either blow bubbles or produce trailing strands. Finally a target is all important and this is frequently where inexperienced droolers fall down. Dribbling without a target results in soggy baby. This may be acceptable, or indeed the aim of the process, but books, clothes, siblings, are all good targets and can produce a very amusing reaction. Remember a good dribble will make you thirsty so demand a top up. Mmmmm, the top up. Milk time I think.

Good dribbling my colleagues in cute babyhood. Glug, glug, glug.
