#978 - Its Vinnys 1st birthday - Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland) (27th February 2023)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland and my website is jasonnewland.com. Now this is just an introduction to what this podcast is. So please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

Now this Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast is basically I guess it's what it says on the tin you know in a sense of it's me just being boring so that you can fall asleep. And in the background today I've got the sounds of Vinnie, Andre and Newland in the background chomping on a bone which I gave him to hopefully sort of keep him quiet. It's not completely worked is it because he's not being quiet but at least he's not barking.

So this podcast as I said is it's not just to help people to fall asleep it's also maybe useful for helping you to relax. Some people listen to me for company you know a friendly voice. I was going to say on the end of the phone but you know what I mean a friendly voice on the end of well I suppose it might be your phone that you're listening on.

Unless of course you're listening in 30 years time when it'll probably just appear in your ear. You know you probably just think to yourself I want to listen to Let Me Bore You To Sleep episode nine million and three. And I'll be in the 80s then and I'll just suddenly it'll be Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep.

My name is um I've got it written down somewhere in my name. So yeah so that that's that's it really it's just to help to relax. And I also do do other podcasts which are also for relaxing sleeping that's that's pretty much the main things that I focus on although I do have other podcasts for pain relief chronic pain relief and to stop smoking and a few other things like that.

So my podcasts are available pretty much everywhere. I'm not probably not in your fridge but you know everywhere. You know what you know I mean it's not like well I looked for you in the supermarket but it's not there no no I don't mean everywhere but online not everywhere online either but on the different podcasts providers such as Spotify iTunes or Apple Podcasts now as is Stitcher Google Podcasts Castbox you know I'm all over the place.

One way to do it is just to go to your preferred podcast place where you listen to your podcasts and just put my name in just type in Jason Newland or Newland if you want to pronounce it like that and or put Let Me Bore You To Sleep but if you put my name in then you'll be able to see some podcasts that I also provide. I'm also on YouTube as well so I've been going through some of my old not not old old but more recent podcasts and converted them into videos and I am thinking of making videos soon where it'll just be actually me talking on the screen so I'm making the podcast and the video at the same time we will see about that anyway so that's just the introduction to this podcast.

Now I'm going to keep quiet for five seconds there may follow some adverts there may not I don't know if there is then just bear with me there's sometimes adverts sometimes there's no adverts at all but that helps to keep this thing running.

So thank you for listening and I will continue in a few seconds with my wonderful boringness. So you know what? Guess what today is? Guess what today is? Are you ready? You ready to have your mind blown? It's Vinnie's birthday. It's his first birthday.

He's one years old today. One year old, one years old, one year old something like that and you know I feel a little bit sad that I didn't have him from a little baby because I think he'd be better behaved if I had. He's still, I don't know, he's still testing me, still pushing the boundaries of what he can get away with and often shows me zero respect like really nothing and then other times really is, I'm saying the word really quite a lot, it's almost as if he wants to please me.

I'll give you an example. When we walk down the stairs to go out for a walk, he walks really slowly with me and he looks back at me, stops halfway just to make sure I'm with him. Now I don't know, and again I'm just adding human emotions to an animal, is it because he saw me fall down the stairs in December and he's looking out for me? I'm pretty sure that's not the reason but I like to think it might be that he's actually being good because he doesn't want to trip me up and he's seen how bouncy I can get when I slip.

He's seen me bounce down 12 steps and end up with a fractured back. Now I'm pretty sure, you know, the noise, most of the noise was me groaning but I'm pretty sure and my friend was there and he was like, okay, okay, do I look okay? I'm pretty sure beneath or in between those sounds of me groaning, traffic going past outside, I think it was windy as well, maybe raining, yeah it was raining, yeah, and my friend said are you okay? I'm pretty sure I could hear laughter from him, I could hear Vinnie laughing, he bounced down the stairs.

I'm thinking that maybe he found it funny seeing this fat man bouncing and I mean even I could see the funny side in a way like how it must have looked for other people and if I'd have got it on camera I probably might well have gone viral with that because it must have been ridiculous just to watch me slip and then bounce down the steps on my back and it's one of those weird things I reckon if I hadn't been overweight I might have actually injured myself more but then there's the other side well if I wasn't overweight I wouldn't have hit the stairs with as much force because I've been lighter.

I mean when I was a kid I would have just floated like a feather side to side and land on the steps, I was so light, so I don't know. The only real other time that I've hurt my back, like really hurt my back was when I was about 15 or 16 when I was working in a chip shop and I was carrying a big bag of spuds that was probably heavier than me, you know it's a big old bag heavy thing and I slipped because water was all over the floor because that's where the potatoes were being cut and you know there was constantly water on the floor, I'm not very safety conscious back then and I slipped and I landed on my coccyx.

I didn't go, I don't know if I went to the doctors or not, I don't know I might have done I mean I was in I'd say probably more pain with that than I was when I fell down the stairs and as I fell I actually had the potatoes on my belly so I didn't just land because I was like I weighed about eight and a half stone then so I was little and falling over wasn't really a problem because I just weighed so little, there was no, I almost defied gravity at times you know

but with that extra potato weight, extra potato weight what a weird sentence, I landed on the tiles of the kitchen floor with proper pressure with a huge amount of force, a lot of banging downstairs for some reason I wonder what that's all about Do you hear him barking then?

I should edit that out but it's quite early in the recording so hopefully unless you've fallen asleep already, oh no sorry that wasn't really a bark from him it was more like being disrupted from what he's doing, what the hell was that?

See yeah I remember that and I could hardly walk, I was in so much pain, I didn't realise that so like I didn't even know what the coccyx were, now see I know it's where it's the tailbone isn't it it's where we used to have our tail so it's pretty much the end of the spine isn't it so it's not a good place to be damaged and it's the bum bone I broke my bum, if I did go, I got this faint idea that I might have gone to the doctors and being told there's nothing

we can do because there's nothing you can do, you have to just let it heal, just that's it, I was like okay, nothing we can do, can't you put my cock in plaster I remember the thing, yeah that's it yeah and the doctor said no coccyx that's a different, I said oh sorry, I was like okay fair enough, but can't you put it in like some kind of back strap on thing, he said again it's not strap on strap, you know you mean like a back brace, I said yeah yeah not back strap on, okay

blah all the medical terms are and he basically said well if I'm trying to remember I've got a vague memory of being told just be careful what does that even mean and the only time I ever heard be careful was from my dad when I was a teenager, so be careful I don't want any grandkids that was it, what do you mean, am I accidentally going to produce grandkids for you, how does that happen, I don't even have a womb, he said yeah you do, it's at the top of the house, I said womb not

room and my dad said look this is getting silly now, you're really pushing it with the puns, I said okay fair enough, he said look it's all right to do it now and then in your podcast, but you don't want to overdo it because you people are going to get annoyed with you, I said yeah but I hardly ever do puns, he said yeah but too many in such a short time even if you've never done it before is just a little bit uh you know a little bit cringe and I said to my dad

look wait a minute this is 1985 no one says the word cringe yet well I did I just said it no you said it wrong what you meant to say is cringy but you said cringe but cringe is actually the way people talk probably in the late 2000s even 2013 or 23 whatever we're in now people don't use that word anymore are you an expert on words now are you why are you talking like that dad well why are you why are you putting on that funny voice I don't know it just felt like it

felt like the right time there's something I need to tell you for everybody gather around family something I need to tell you all I've got an alter ego his name's Steve meet Steve everyone he's a ventriloquist it's a your vent your your alter ego's a ventriloquist yeah what did you think I was going to say doesn't matter doesn't matter a ventriloquist where's the doll oh hasn't got that far yet still practicing with a sock bit like you son um no I don't let's move on from socks so not what you do in your bedroom when

there's no one around I'll hear you all them all them socks under your bed can we can we move on please this is supposed to be a nice Christmas dinner anyway sorry um yeah Vinnie's his birthday today I was going to get him a cake but be honest I forgot I forgot it was his birthday till this morning I've just been had other things to think about if I'm honest I've just been thinking about other things and I completely forgot and so it's the 27th of February every year that's his day of birth and I've

seen pictures of him and he's the cutest little thing but then every single every baby's cute isn't it really like when they're first born because even a little dog it's just that helplessness I know not every animal is helpless like some animals are born and they have to they've got about five minutes to start walking you know but human beings obviously are not like that and dogs can't really do anything to start with I think they're born they can't even see can they to start with or is it cats but it's amazing how quickly they

grow and become will take form turn into cats and turn into dogs like normal dog shape and so I do it's not really a lot of point wishing for the past to be different is it but I think it's natural I'd like I'd love to have been to have had him from the start and just gone through just so he felt secure with me you know one person right from the start and to be I don't know I don't think he's he's a nervous dog he's nervous he gets nervous when there's people in the building

closing doors people in the garden sometimes and once he gets started he can't he's like he can't stop barking but most of the time he doesn't bark that's the thing but when he does it just it does annoy me a little bit because I don't really like barking not the place but you know the sound of barking it's a little bit it irritates my ears and now and then it's fine it's normal you know he's he's a dog dogs bark sometimes but it's just gets it's just it's very high pitched and I don't know how

much of it is nerves or excitement maybe a mixture of both you know he loves everybody he loves seeing people whether they're new or if he's seen them before he just loves everybody he loves all dogs he you know he's very very very loving animal a very loving person he's very interested in cats a little bit too interested so I'm kind of keeping away from cats because I don't know what he's going to be like and he does like start running towards one if he sees one now I have to keep an eye on him

the whole time when I'm with him especially at night because you can't see I can't see what's in the bushes at night I can't see if there's a cat there and you know he's got that it's unfortunate to say he is a natural born hunter he was his species was created to hunt you know farmers and you know people hunting things I don't want to go into that because it's horrible but he can't help it he's always he doesn't sometimes he'll walk he'll just walk and have the fun of it but a lot of time

he is hunting he catches the scent of something and like he puts one paw up which is a natural response no one's taught him to do that and I'm guessing that would be a signal for the huntsman or women or whatever to see what he's oh he's got the scent of something let's follow this one he's got his paw up he just puts his paw up naturally it's it's kind of interesting to watch because it gets me thinking about the whole nature nurture thing you know that debate has been going on for many a year

and I think the consensus of my consensus is it's a bit of both you know some people think well we're not born with any natural instincts and everything's taught well if that's not the case for any animals why would it be the case for us you know if every animal is born of instincts as far as I'm aware every animal is then we surely are because we're just animals aren't we now we're humans yeah animals we're humans we're just a different species but we're ultimately we have instincts I mean we definitely have the instinct of

sucking you know to feed so we have that instinct we have the instinct to cry and I mean some people say oh baby's the only instincts they have let's just check this out actually what instincts are babies babies born with see I know the answer to this but newborn reflexes include rooting reflex I don't know what that is what's a routine reflex routine reflex your your baby has built-in responses to certain stimuli for the moment they're born within the first I mean if you shine a torch in a baby's eyes they're going to go get

it away from me get it away but that's just natural instinct isn't it from anyone also babies don't like farts they don't like the smell but they like the sound sound makes them giggle the smell confuses them is that me or is it you I don't know who is it where's that smell coming from it doesn't smell like one of mine your baby's body has built-in responses to certain stimuli for the moment they are born your baby's body a baby's body within the first few minutes after the baby's born nurses and doctors will check many

of these reflexes a bit like the knee you know when you go to a doctor I haven't done had it done since I was a little kid but they'd bang on the knee with a big hammer but it probably wasn't a big hammer but to see whether or not your knee had like automatically move up does anyone do that and try and kick the doctor like that it wasn't my fault they'll also monitor them at newborn checkup points okay I didn't notice I've never had a child never had a baby so I don't know really

what processes go on it's a basic survival instinct babies it's a routine reflex I don't know what that is oh I've already talked about it babies know how to find and latch on to a nipple to feed so I knew I knew obviously we all I think we all know that babies can do that so I didn't know it's called rooting reflex I've always just called sucking or feeding if you stroke the side of your baby's cheek with your finger or breast he or she will turn their head open their mouth and begin to make

sucking movements movements the reflex usually disappears around four months oh okay so basically stroking the side of their so that's how you get them to learn to do that I don't know I thought you just put the the food presented the food and they just drunk that's what I thought oh morrow starter reflex your baby the baby will be placed in a seated stance seated okay with their head supported the baby's head is allowed to drop backwards the baby should appear to be startled okay that's that's something that in layman's terms was I've always been

told that was just the fear of falling babies are born we all have a fear if no one enjoys falling do they maybe parachutists uh bungee jumpers but who else would enjoy falling backwards it's not maybe gymnasts I don't know stunt stunt men women children I don't know what other people would fall backwards trapeze artists trampolinas trampolinas because they fall backwards and they answer the trampoline and backward game on their feet I used to love doing that what other superheroes maybe but I can't think of any anyone else step oh the baby cries when startled

this reflex usually disappears around two months also when the baby is caught he or she will bring their arms back to their body loud unexpressed loud unexpected noises may cause this reflex so basically the start of reflex so that makes sense yeah step reflex I guess that start of reflex is what I was talking about with the fart like what the hell was that step reflex a baby is helped held upright who's doing all this weird stuff to make the babies startled and grasp and testing to see whether or not they've got this okay a

baby's held upright with their feet gently touching a flat surface the baby will appear to try to take steps this reflex usually disappears around two months so that's the step reflex so we are born with the reflex with the automatic thing of wanting to walk that's interesting isn't it it's very interesting because I'm thinking you do see that then you're a baby's you hold them and their feet touch the thing I know I sound like I'm just repeating what I've already said but I'm visualizing it now and they do like move their legs like they're

walking ah now the gra...

why am I talking about this I don't know this is is grasped my attention for some reason the grasp reflex when your baby's palm is stroked he or she will grab your finger and hold on tight so when you stroke the palm of a baby's as a baby's palm they will grab your finger and hold on tight their toes will curl up as well if you stroke the bottom of their feet this reflex begins to disappear around the third month so oh okay see I'm going back to I've only had contact with only a few

babies really one being my little brother when I was about eight years old and I remember he used to grab my finger but I didn't used to I basically I think I used to give him my finger to grab because it reminded me a bit like the action man that I had you know with super grip hands I don't know if he had the hawk eye or not my little brother didn't have that I looked at the bottom of back of his head to see whether or not he had a magnifying eye but he didn't

but it was a bit like that I said are you like my action man but I don't I wasn't like stroking his palm for him to do it he just automatically did it besides a baby's palm is so tiny isn't it it's like practically non-existent it is there does exist because the fingers have to otherwise the fingers will just come out of the wrist but it's just I don't know I didn't realize that this is new information see that thing about the toes curling I used to have curly toes when I was about 10 I

noticed that I was walking with my toes curled inwards and I didn't know why why was my toes curled and I realized that this is quite uncomfortable why am I walking like this I became self-aware so over it took a few weeks I gradually managed to relax my toes and get myself walking with my toes flat down it was weird a very strange thing I was like nine or ten at the time maybe yeah nine or ten I remember that I used to walk I think is it pigeon-footed or something but I used to walk

with my toes were down crunched up it might have been it might be in the shoes are too small I'm not I don't really don't know but uh what else is there a symmetrical tonic neck what a symmetrical tonic neck what and what what it's called fencing reflex babies take on a fencer position when lying on their backs so we're talking a fence you talk about like Peter fences someone that puts up a fence so like they start look like they're banging a hammer and nail into a bit of wood or you're talking about fences

as in like sword fighting so when lying on their backs the head turns to the side and the opposite arm reaches away from the baby's body when the hand with the hand slightly opened so the head turns to the side and the opposite arm reaches away from the baby's body with the hand slightly opened this reflex usually disappears between four and five months blimey I mean you think about it the as far as instincts go we're born with those instincts that maybe have been evolved over hundreds of thousands of years like using weapons and stuff

like that you know like going back in time and just like wow then as the Babinski reflex the doctor or nurse will stroke the underside of the baby's foot from the top of the sole towards the heel the baby's toe will fall off no the baby's toes will fan out their big toe will move upwards this reflex remains through adulthood adults toes and feet will curl inwards so the big toe will move upwards so you really do stroke the underside of the baby's foot from the top of the sole towards the heel so if you

do that to yourself or to you to another adult their toes and feet will curl inwards oh cool and there's the gallant truncal incurvation reflex the baby will be held face down in a doctor's or nurse's hand while they use the other hand to stroke the baby's skin along one side of their spine baby's spine should curve and the head and feet will move in the direction of the side that is being stroked wow isn't that interesting so the baby's the head and feet will move in the direction of the side of the spine that's

being blimey what if that works on adults as well i guess not that's just for babies now trembling is common this is i didn't know this is common and normal for a newborn baby to tremble especially when crying this often includes quivering of the lower lip yeah that carries on into adulthood as well every relationship i've ever had and myself that quivering bottom lip i wanted a bike for christmas so that was a weird noise what two instincts are we born with this is another thing this is healthyjournal.com as human beings we're born with the

instincts for survival such as fight or flight response which helps us assess a situation etc it may be obvious what to do if i said what i like a little bit or maybe not okay wow now this one todaysparent.com says maybe it's a bit deflating to learn this fierce this fierce grasp is just a reflex your baby is born with as many as 75 reflexes some babies reflexes disappear abruptly usually between three and six months of age while others are gradually replaced by more intentional behavior wow this is interesting new york times does a fetus

have instincts hungry babies instinctively open their mouths as their mother's breast or bottle draws near now researchers this is from 2013 new york times researchers from england and france report that this instinct the anticipation of touch is a

skill fetuses teach themselves in the womb isn't that weird that the word fetus and feces sounds so similar such a similar kind of word very similar very different meanings but what are the five basic human instincts no we're going to the young jung territory fourth base basic instincts fighting fleeing feeding and fornicating okay we're probably not talking about babies now are we this is evolutionary psychology speak about the four f's which is said to be the four basic and most primal drives motivations or instincts that animals including humans are evolutionarily adapted to have follow and

achieve fighting fleeing feeding and fornicating i don't do fighting i don't do the last one i do feed i do eat and i try not to flee either so feeding is the only thing that i do out of my natural instincts so are babies born knowing anything this is from babysparks.com studies show that when babies are born they've already acquired knowledge about language food preferences and emotions this is from 2019 really where where what studies a baby's hearing develops around 24 weeks in the womb which allows them to learn the sound of their mother's voice

and is able to recognize her native language really really yeah babies don't understand i don't think babies understand language because if you take the baby born in africa and you take it to china take the baby and just give it to a chinese lady i don't just give it away

but you know adoption or whatever process the legal process and that baby goes back to china and only hears chinese from then on or mandarin or whatever the language is i always get my luck this is bad i get my luck between mandarin and tangerines i know it's a different thing but if i say mandarin i just do think of like an orangey fruit i like tangerines i prefer them to oranges because oranges is a bit of it's touch and go with oranges isn't it they can be amazing but i just find them a little

bit full on a bit too acidy for me but tangerines you can tell because they're so little you can tell when they're ready to be to be eaten i'm not i don't like shout to you come on jay i'm ready not like something like that but you can kind of tell especially if you it's like anything if you if you do anything regularly you kind of get used to when it's time if you eat bananas a lot or if you if you just like making a cup of tea you kind of know the exact amount

of time to leave your tea bag in the water before taking it out and the exact amount of milk if you have milk in order to make the perfect cup of tea for yourself it's just practice isn't it so i think the same as with tangerines is you kind of learn when they're ready to eat because in 19 2007 around about that time 2006 2007 i used to have tangerines in my at my office desk in my drawer and i'd have one like maybe for break break time they weren't always ready to eat sometimes i'd

have to touch them and there'd be a certain feeling i think it's almost i'm going by memory physical touch memory there's a certain point where the skin becomes a little bit loose just a little bit loose and you know that it's ready to eat and it's going to be perfect when the skin's really tight and there's no movement not ready yet but when it starts just a little bit loose maybe a little bit more than a tangerine just tastes it tastes well like a tangerine i guess but it's lovely i love love tangerines yeah so

if the baby goes to china from venezuela or from wherever it's born taken to another country different language you don't you know it's okay for example you took the french baby a baby from france took it to america to an american couple or american family whether it's not going to grow up with a french accent is it it's not going to be like a school like it's not gonna be born and think what the hell language is this or whatever that would be in french bonjour mademoiselle bonjour you know whatever that would be in france

in french what language is this this isn't the language that i was learning and studying in the womb in my bed womb is i was pleased with that bedroom like bedroom bed but uh yeah i should be ashamed i know but i i just like i don't think so do you unless when that child goes to school and here's french for the first time they excel because they've already got a head start that person may automatically have a uh an ope be open to bilingual bilinguality bilinguality so perhaps if a baby is around lots of

different speaking languages so let's say let's say is a pregnant person in london traveling on a bus in east london every day to work or wherever all the different languages that that baby inside the womb is bedworn will be hearing maybe would be so stimulating for their brain that they will be born with more of an ability to learn other languages isn't that fascinating i made it all up but isn't it fascinating it could be true i didn't make up what it said there that this is from babysparks.com i know what was it i can't

remember wherever i read it was it the new york times or something okay let's excuse me what is the most what is the human first instinct compassion psychology today from 2013 says compassion decades of clinical research has focused and shed light on the psychology of human stuff human our first instinct science shows that we are actually wired for compassion not self-interest oh cool i'm not going to read the whole thing because i can't get bothered but that's a nice sentence and i think there's a lot to be

said for helping others instead of being focused just on well for me just from my own personal perspective instead of being just focused on myself and my own well-being and blah blah blah it's god he's being noisy now he wants attention all the time he wants to be the center of attention he'll be wanting his own podcast next so yeah i yeah yeah i think helping other people is really i just think it's psychologically beneficial emotionally beneficial and i've i've had this i had this theory or this idea for a long time a long long

time that helping others helps me the way the best way to help yourself is by helping others and i know that a lot of people would not would not agree with that at all but i just just felt that and this is a certain feeling that i get when i help others i'm not talking about podcasts necessarily but just like even even in real life just helping someone i give them some food sort of like a neighbor hasn't got any food so i give them some food or i think something like that that's just it

feels nice you know i'm not walking around thinking i'm a hero there's a hero if you look inside jason's flat but always mind no i don't think that way like it's not an ego thing it's just a natural thing i don't have to force myself to do it or think oh i'm doing this someone's watching me and i'm going to get credit for this you know i'm not in that way thinking that i don't it doesn't come into it you know it just feels right it just feels like the right thing to do is to

help others i don't always feel like helping others if i'm honest sometimes i don't but i tried to have this this little rule years ago if i have a thought about doing something nice then i kind of need to see it through and i pretty much stuck to it this is something from i don't know 20 years ago just just decided to sort of i'm trying to think of an example okay so as an example um to give someone a gift even if it's not someone that i know even if it's someone that perhaps i

don't know very well or you know someone working in the shop and they don't look very happy so maybe um something i don't know i'm just trying to think of an example because even i've had this rule for two years 10 20 years i clearly haven't actually done anything from the sounds of it i must have done must have done something nice once i can't think of anything or if i think i'm going to do this i'll try and do it provided it's not harmful i try and stick to what the idea is rather than

start thinking oh yeah but they won't be grateful they won't want it anyway you know or for example giving money to someone in the street that's begging instead of having that attitude like well they're only going to spend it on blah blah blah blah blah well you don't know we first of all we don't know what someone's going to do there's a good guess it might be a very good very very good guess but it's worth remembering that that person's going to get the money from somewhere so somebody is on the streets begging for money

because let's use the word greg's sausage roll let's just say that if if they need to eat a sausage roll and that's what they need the money for they're going to get the money for that sausage roll or they're going to get that sausage roll you know whatever happens so if i can make it easier by giving them the money for the sausage roll then doesn't that makes you know now i don't know if they want a sausage roll or if they want to buy a cheese sandwich maybe they do want a cheese sandwich and

maybe i'm giving them that money because they want a cheese sandwich and that's what they say they want but who am i to decide what they if they buy a cheese sandwich or that sausage roll it's not really you know once the money is in their hands it's up to them what they do with it i lost myself at sausage roll to be honest what am i talking about oh oh my goodness i'm such a silly billy okay lesson number one is your baby a baby is born knowing to do these six amazing things here

we go what are they hold their breath oh babies have a natural response to being submerged in water my favorite amazing baby how is the diving reflex wow i didn't know that so when a baby is so my question is why are you holding a baby underwater but okay let's move on from that but um but it's like a natural thing i wouldn't imagine that babies would be have any fear of water because they've spent years in under them they in in the in their bedroom it's a it's a wet room as well isn't it

it's i'll stop but yeah yes so they try to grab onto things when startled they recognize your smell babies can't identify their parents by smell at birth kind of oh i have to be careful how i word this it kind of makes sense that um it kind of makes sense doesn't it that a baby is gonna know the smell of recognize the smell of the mother because the baby's is the mother is it's part of the mother isn't it it's it's produced from i'm not saying it's like having a poo but i'm just saying it's

it's you know it's gonna it's gonna smell you it's gonna know what you smell like because it's been inside you for seven eight nine months or whatever it is you the baby is you really isn't it to be fair in a way there's i know there's separation once they're born but they actually are when they're in you they are you that is it's part of you you're attached literally maybe we need to keep the umbilical cord because think about it keep it keep it until they're ready to leave school really you know leave home and

then cut it at least that way know where they are i can't run off can't go out with boys or girls can't you know can't do anything because you know where they are all the time because they'll be six foot away from you or however long an umbilical cord is that's gross isn't it let's put in yeah malvin reflect okay know about that stepping or dancing okay that's that was the walking thing when you put them on the floor and they walk holding on to things there are a few things sweeter than infant wrapping a

little finger around your hand a little hand around your finger that the big siblings hold tight i noticed that when i was a little kid i was only eight when my little brother was born and honestly i thought he was going to break my finger such a grip and i did i actually compared i got my action man and put him his grip around the other finger my other hand and i couldn't believe that a baby had a harder grip than a big grown strong man that was in the army i couldn't believe it action

man so yeah babies are quite amazing really aren't they i'll tell you it's a weird thing i think i don't know why i'm talking about babies today for some reason and maybe i shouldn't i don't know but there's that smell of a baby's head that i think it's you know the smell of a baby's head it's just i know you can't go around sniffing baby's heads randomly it's frowned upon but there's there's almost the most amazing smell in the world isn't it it's like if you could make if you could make um some kind of

food that smelt like that i know it sounds weird but it or perfume or whatever it's just it's it's a lovely smell but anyway i've got i've got um with nieces and that us it sounds weird i had a niece and i smelt a red that sounds strange but like babies all babies are just it's weird isn't it the top part of the smells really good and the smell gets worse as you go down it's like the bottom part is not so nice smelling you know with the old continuous flow of so that's another thing

i remember my brother that's the thing it's quite hard to not take him seriously because he's now 40 41 years old or something or 44 something like that but i remember him lying there having his nappy changed as a diaper so having that changed and just i remember that and seeing that green poo like what the heck what's he been eating it's like not even what's he what's coming out your boobies mum this that's wrong so yeah is your milk green so are you related to kermit so i i don't know it's i don't know

why i think it's because i'm talking about viddy and how nice it would have been to have him as a little baby and see him grow up and have him i just see how he's he might be exactly the same as he is now he's attached to me but he's not i don't know now he's drinking some water i'm gonna go so i'm gonna give him a big cuddle now so thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy do something nice for yourself love lots of love bye
