Random Stories: Frustration

At about five months old, the boys are reaching for items. As is common for babies, they are exploring their world and one of the ways they do that is to pop everything in their mouths. Logan is especially fond of this method of exploration.

We have a plastic, mesh ball that is easy for the boys to grasp. It’s brightly colored and they love it. But Logan is bound and determined to push that ball in his mouth. He licks it and twists it. He scrunches it up against his face. But it just won’t go in. So he grunts for a while and those grunts gradually increase in intensity and volume as he continues to find some method of getting the ball in his mouth. Finally he just bursts into tears and screams out of frustration. It’s amazingly cute that he gets so frustrated with this… until he starts screaming.
