Recent Bedtimes

16 July...Tonight, when washing you up for bedtime, you kept patting your own chest, then patted your tummy. So Daddy started making this hip hop rapping motion with his hand and yours, saying " Yo yo yo! Man!" at the same time. and that sent you off into chuckles again and again hehee.

Recently, to calm you down at night when washing you up (sometimes you scream bloody murder once we put you down on the changing table), We had to think up new things. Some latest that sent you laughing were:

- When mommy press down gently on your yummy during massage and say "press press", you laugh. :) But now you don't.
- When Daddy "smells" your diaper and pretends it stinks and screws up his face and say "eeeee...chao chao!", you chuckle so loudly!
- When Daddy plays peekaboo with you from the side of the changing table.
- When Mommy pretends to hiccup like you. Each "Hick!" earns me a chuckle
- When Daddy sings the song Eensy Weensy Spider with accompanying actions
- When Daddy whips out his magic wand (the cotton bud) to dig your ear, you immediately calm down. Once, when he's done, you gave a contented "Nggggg...". Daddy asked if you want more, and after that, you went "ngggg..." again.

And recently, during bedtime when I am nursing you and you are not asleep yet, you can be tickled by the wierdest things. Once, you were playing with the buttons on Mommy's blouse, and Mommy said "Buttons." and you looked up at me with twinkling eyes and started chuckling! I did it again, and you chuckle, with this lovely gurgling sound that starts deep in your throat. What a lovely sound. I know I am risking overstimulating you by making you laugh so loud so late, but I cannot bear to miss this cosy moment with you, with you looking up at me like that and smiling. Love you so much my son...
