Games to play with babies

While we were at Barnes & Noble, we looked at some "games to play with your baby" books. The nerve of some people, calling these things "games!"

Like: touch her toes and say "toes." Then touch her knee and say "knee." Etc., etc., etc.

And: Hold her and say her name over and over.

And: Tell her you love her.

Now, don't get me wrong, these are all worthwhile things to do, and every parent should do them. But to call them "games" and charge for writing them down in a book is quite bold by my standards. I think I'll write "Tips for healthy living" and include such similarly insightful things as "eat" and "breathe" and "bathe."
