Now all he needs are a pretty baby bonnet and a baby  stroller with attached stroller tray of attached baby rattles so can't lose them while his mommy is taking him to the shops, or daycare, or story time with the other babies at the library.  wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Off to the right Tom saw two other similarly large baby dresses, just as ornately accessorised in lemon and powder blue.  Three baby dresses!  He reckoned his mother was not being entirely honest about this being a quick thing.

Martha took advantage of his distraction to place a bonnet on his head and she drew the attached pink ribbons around to tie them in a neat bow under his chin.  Tom reckoned he could pin the end of the ribbon between his two mittens and pull it to undo the bow and get rid of the horrid bonnet.

But Martha stuck her fingers in under his chin and he heard two little snaps as the ribbons were secured in place.  Pulling at the loose end was now ineffective and the tightly secured ribbons made sure he couldn’t open his mouth wide enough to get the soother out either.

His torment wasn’t quite over though as he was lifted onto the changing table so they could pull fluffy pink booties over his feet and he heard similar snaps securing them around his ankles.

Again his mother and Martha took an arm each and he was turned to the left where he saw a white wooden high chair with its tray tilted over to the side.  He was lifted into the seat, his mother turned the tray down in front of him until it clicked and locked in position.

Martha was pulling straps over his shoulders and up from the sides of the chair.  One of the straps had an oval piece of plastic attached to it which she placed over his chest and inserted the other three straps which all clicked when slid into position.  She adjusted metal slides on the straps to hold him in more tightly.

They stood back.  Tom wriggled desperately in his high chair but was held securely between the straps and the tray locked in position.  They sniggered as his pink legs kicked in frustration and just watched until he eventually settled down and resigned himself to being held in the high chair.  His mother smiled at his cute face framed by the thick lace of his bonnet as he involuntarily continued to suc-k on his soother.

Tom realised that the high chair must have been made specially for him.  He fit in it just perfectly snuggly.  It was far too big for a real baby.  They manoeuvred the high chair so he faced the mirror and locked the wheels in position.

He couldn’t believe what he saw.  Just five minutes ago he walked into the room in a bath robe and now here he was confined to a high chair in a pink baby dress with matching bonnet and nappy cover – he was wearing a nappy for goodness sake! – pink tights and booties with a large soother rammed in his mouth.  There was clearly no way he could remove his bonnet or booties or his mittens and therefore could remove nothing else.  He had to accept that he was confined to the high chair as his pink legs dangled aimlessly in front.

So of course they had to film him being bottle and spoon-fed in his high-chair.  As he sat there he took in the rest of the room and was pretty sure the play-pen, cot and rocking horse had all been scaled up for him as a big baby.  He supposed it wasn’t a lot of work for a TV company that was used to making sets.

Then he was finally freed but only to be marched into the play-pen which, as he thought, was made bigger for him but no less secure than a normal play-pen for a toddler.  The side bars came up to his chest and he could see it even had a baby-proof catch on the gate which he couldn’t budge with his hands in mittens.  The toys were similarly scaled up so he could get his mitten into the ring on the end of a rattle.  They wanted him to play with the toys and once again he was encouraged by “the sooner you cooperate, the sooner this will all be over” mantra.

His only consolation was that he was changed into the other two dresses for more footage.  He had feared it might be a case of a dress a day in which case this would not be over soon.  His other two dresses were similarly designed short to show off the matching nappy cover – more like a pair of frilly bloomers in the case of the powder blue outfit.

They particularly enjoyed him on the rocking horse.  Having to lean forward to hold the handles on either side of the head gave a great view of all the frills on his matching nappy cover.
Then they wanted to film him being put into the cot.  He was changed into a fleece footed sleeper which was mercifully unfrilly but inevitably pink and buttoned up the back.  The bulge of his nappy was still unmistakable as he climbed into the cot.  His mother raised the side bars which locked in place with a click.

She made a great show of feeding him another bottle of milk and they insisted he take it all as they wanted to show him finishing every drop.  His mum pushed the soother back into his mouth afterwards and he saw the camera crew gather their things and leave the room.  At last!

Yay  baby bonnets are the best bonnets.  Wonder if his mommy is giving him morning naptime in his crib before an afternoon nap? Consistent sceduels are very import for babies :) Wonder if has a mobile for his crib? All he needs now is stroller to be securely buckelled into with built in baby rattles he can't drop for mommy to him shopping for everything they need. like baby food, baby wipes, baby formula, baby powder, diaper rash cream, as as mommys grown up shopping needs. Unless baby is taking a nap in his crib.
Hope his bottle was filled with baby formula for infants :) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

When will he figure out they went through oh so much work for such a temporary thing? Based on his behavior so far, it'll be a week from Tuesday next before it clicks.
