So the other night while I was getting Drew ready for bed I decided to sing to him a bit. “How Firm a Foundation” in case you were wondering. Suddenly his bottom lip began to quiver and then he started crying. I didn’t know what was wrong and I picked him up and calmed him down. Then I started to sing again, and once again his lip started quivering and he cried. Kinda hard. So then I realized he must be crying because of my singing. My self esteem is totally boosted.
I took him out to Andy and showed him. Then I made him try, and apparently Andy has a horrifying voice as well. It was just so hilarious. When I was putting him in bed I tried saying his name in a singsong voice and he didin’t like that either. Humming is also out.
This trick could not be duplicated the next day in front of people, but I have tried again in private with the same sad results. Well, not as sad. Now he just looks sad and starts to yell at me.
(*No babies were harmed in the making of this post…at least I don’t think they were. This is an old picture too FYI. I didn’t make him cry just to beautify my blog.)
That is a pretty sad story, but I do love that you shared it.
