Well, it still hasn't been easy to get Max to sleep. But we do have some fun trying. Tonight I figured I would just stay in his room for a while, and let him babble on, thinking that he would get tired and shut his eyes, and fall into a relaxing sleep. Well, he's still talking in his room right now, but at least he is still calm.
Some highlights:
Max: Daddy why do you have hairs in your nose?
(I laugh)
Me: Because I'm an old man, Max.
Max: (laughing) You're not an old man, Daddy. You're a new man.
(I laugh)
Max: (laughing) You're not a new man, Daddy. You're a short man.
(I smile)
Max: No, no, no Daddy. I say You're a short man and then you laugh.
Me: Oh, Ok.
Max: You're a short man.
(I laugh)
(Max laughs, a lot).
Max: No, you're not a short man. You're a new man.
(I laugh)
Max: (snickering) No, no, no, you're not a new man, you're an old man.
(I pretend laugh, Max laughs and laughs and laughs, having completely cracked himself up).
(20 seconds of silence)
Max: Let me tell you a story. Max got up, and it was a beautiful day, and...
And he went on, for 30 minutes. Even though he was clearly playing me, sometimes it is those little moments that I just want to bottle up and keep forever.
