Have just invented a new game, what do you think?
Basically, we are playing in the living room at the moment. Henry sits, and I sit on the floor in front of him with his favourite dummy (one with a trip of rabbit fur on it).
I tell him to 'wait' then throw the dummy up so it lands fairly close to him. He has to sit still while I pick the dummy up, then he gets a big cuddle
Every so often (like every 15 or 20 times) I send him to fetch the dummy.
If he moves to get the dummy without being asked, he gets a scary AHHHH and I'm close enough to stop him physically too.
This evening I was able to land the dummy right by his nose and he still didn't grab for it. And I could move a little further back from him and he was still steady
I was thinking we could start from here and build up. I have also been doing the more orthodox method of sitting him down and throwing out all the dummies, but I think he also needs something a bit remedial!
Also, this makes it more of a game as he has to focus on me as to whether he can go or not.
What do you think? I tend to make up quite a bit of this as I go along
