cub watching
Oct. 17th, 2012 06:41 pmOne of the interesting parts of raising our werecub is learning about his personality. Is he an introvert like his mamabear, or an extravert like his daddy? Will he get his daddy's adhd?
He's definitely a snuggly type. He's fearless in a known situation (like a familiar playground) but spends a fair amount of time in a new place peering at this and that, trying to figure it out. This includes people. And people comment often how well-behaved he is. To be sure, he has his moments, but from what we get told, our werecub is spoiling us. It makes me wonder if we'll be in for a hard time when we add another cub to the sleuth.
Last time we took him to the playground, there were some crawlers there and at least one baby still stuck on a mat next to a watchful mother. The cub spent a little time over by the baby, smacking the carpet nearby and watching the baby imitate him. He also would go sit down and "chat" with a random mom when he started to get tired. It struck me because most of the kids ignored the adults (except theirs) and the baby entirely.
He's talking a lot more now, but still less than most kids I see his age. He's progressing fast enough to keep the worries at bay.
