Morgan Week 3 Day 5

This morning Morgan was lying musing when I went in to see him. He responded to squares and stripes but then started to grizzle. I managed to sit him up and put the comforter in his mouth and he commenced sucking. After four or five sucks he spat it out and started to complain. I tried again with the same effect. Presumably he cottoned to the fact that the comforter does not always mean food and he reacts accordingly. Margaret observed Morgan lying and complaining on an occasion when he had done his business in his napkin. When Auntie moved him to the changing mat he stopped crying immediately, and after his napkin was changed he was happy. He seemed to realize that the move to the mat signalled that he was going to have a clean napkin. These are two interesting ways whereby Morgan reacts to his experience and behaves accordingly.
