Mr. Perpendicular

The Teddy Bear has taken to sleeping sideways in his crib.  I don’t know why he does this, but every time I go to check on him during his nap he has rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and is poking his toes between the slats.  Silly boy.  I can’t imagine how that is more comfortable.   

I love that he always sleeps clutching his giraffe rattle.  Since he’s not supposed sleep with stuffed animals yet, I gave him that little rattle so he would have something to play with as he fell asleep.  That has been his comfort item for several months now.  Usually I know when he’s woken up for the day or from a nap because I hear him shaking that rattle.  It’s his equivalent of ringing a servants bell I suppose.  “Mother, I’m awake now.  Please come retrieve me!”  He never cries or really makes any noise at all when he wakes up, so I am glad that he shakes his rattle to let me know he’s awake.     

Watching that cutie pie sleep never gets old.
