Bedtime Laughs
Since Koleton turned 1 year, we no longer use bottles. He got some new sippy cups for his birthday and they have since replaced his bottles. Before he goes to bed or down for a nap, I still give him his milk and rock him to "sleep". That is next to go lol It is much rarer now that he falls asleep with me and I have to go lay him down. Now he gets his milk, rocks for a few minutes, and I go lay him down to fall asleep in his bed. Lately, he has been "needing" a laugh before bedtime haha It started with him taking his paci out and trying to give it to me, while laughing! His laugh is so contagious! I really tried to hold it in, but I couldn't do it! Next thing I knew, we were both just laughing at each other for no real reason lol We laughed for a bit, then I went and laid him down and he went right to sleep. Now I will tickle his foot by kissing it (I think that the pulling of his leg upwards actually kind of tickles him because it doesn't have the same effect unless I pull his leg up lol. He even, now, just lifts his leg toward me waiting for me to tickle him! His favorite FAVORITE thing to do now is to pick my nose. Yes, you read correctly, my son thinks it is funny to pick my nose!!! He was trying to get his finger into my mouth for me to "bite" but I closed it so he couldn't get it in...then his finger wandered up my face and found itself in my nose! I looked at him and said "Hey! Pick your own nose!!!" lol Now he thinks that is the funniest thing ever! He takes his middle finger (of course) and puts it in my nose and just waits for me to say something! I have tried ignoring it... like it isn't a big deal that his finger is in my nose. That doesn't last very long! It's almost like I can sense his anticipation waiting for me to tell him to get his finger out of my nose added to the fact that it is actually IN my nose! I start cracking up and then so does he :) We go on for a few minutes and then he goes to bed :) I love that we can do that and have that little silly time together and still he goes to sleep without too much trouble! I love my silly son!!!!
