What does it mean when your baby tells you to get on with it?Last night, after T Junior's bath, dinner and massage, Mr. T was giving him good-night kisses before we settled in for books, then bed.
The kisses Mr. T gets are different than the ones I receive most of the time. For Mommy, he usually opens his mouth and places it on my cheek or lips. For Daddy, he leans his forehead forward for Mr. T to smooch. But Daddy wants a real kiss, T Junior!
So, Mr. T was trying to get one last night. I held T Junior as Daddy tried over and over again. But he just kept sticking his head on Mr. T's stubbled face.
After a couple minutes of quiet pleading, er encouragement, T Junior stopped. He turned his head and reached toward the big comfy chair.
"BUH!"
For those of you who don't speak the language*, "BUH" means books.
Mr. T clasped both hands over his mouth to push back the laughter, and I had to bite my tongue. Bedtime is supposed to be soothing and quiet. We didn't want to stir the night.
"OK, honey," I said with a grin, and we got on with our routine.
*Other words in T Junior's repertoire right now: Dada, Mama, Dah (dog), Diddeh (Tigger), and Baboh (we're not sure what this is -- could be bubble or bottle).

Funny! Mitch still just leans his head in...maybe it's a boy thing?
Maybe it is a boy thing. I wondered if Mr. T's goatee is scratchy or something. Sometimes he gives him a real kiss, though, on a whim...
