Pillow Talk

When Jake was really little I noticed that as he was falling asleep at night, he would practice each of his “tricks.”  He’d say: Ga ga, ba ba, da da, click his tongue, clap his hands, and fall asleep.  It was kind of like a little computer shutting down.  Sometimes he would also do it on “start-up.”

These days we hear him talking and singing in his crib, after we’ve put him to bed.  I’m not sure exactly what he’s saying, but he’s probably saying: MORE, ba ba, bath time, button, ball, shoe, clapping his hands, brushing his hands off like they’re dirty, sign-language for “more”, nigh-nigh.
