Baby Games

Drop the dummy ©

Two participants are needed for this game.

Yourself and a person who is utterly in love with you, someone who thinks on you as the most precious thing in the world. The person(s) who protects you, keeps you warm, feeds you, rocks you to sleep, the one who is there at your every waking moment. For the purpose of this we will simply call this person the opponent.

The game should take place at approximately 3am.

The rules:
1. The opponent will put a soothing dummy into your mouth. At first do as you normally do: start to suckle on it and softly close your eyes.

2. As the opponent turns away, or even better, tries to sit down you need to quickly and forcefully spit the dummy out, preferably aiming for under a cupboard or bed.

3. The opponent will then place you down somewhere safe and retrieve the dummy. As soon as you are placed down you need to shriek, cry or wail as loudly as possible. Note - you will win extra points if you are able to fill your nappy at that moment.

4. Act as alert as you were the moment you woke 4 hours previously and wait 10mins before starting the game all over again.

Thats it, nice and simple but always guaranteed to create a laughter filled household – no one can resist the fun of Drop the Dummy © .

After about 3 months of drop the dummy, its probably best to move up to game two.
