Noah's latest trick is blowing raspberries, spitting, making motorboat sounds....whatever you want to call it. He does it all the time....I mean ALL the time. It's really cute and it usually gets a laugh out of us which is why I'm sure he does it (I think we may have a class clown on our hands who LOVES all eyes on him). However, a few days ago he discovered he could do it while he was eating and spit food all over me, his high chair, himself and anything else within approximately a 1 mile radius. Well, you can see the mess he made....this first picture was taken mid-spit...
While this was cute the first time, after his 85th consecutive time to do it, I was not so amused. So when he'd do it, I'd say, "No" very sternly and try again, but he'd just smile, laugh and keep doing it. So I warned Tracy, my neighbor who keeps him during the day, to get out her rainjacket before breakfast the next day. So when I came to pick him up, she told me that she started feeding him and he spit his food all over her. She proceeded to tell him, "No, no, Noah". He just looked at her and his bottom lip slowly poked out in a pouty face. Then she gave him a couple more bites and he spit again. "No, no, Noah!" she repeated. And his lip started to poke out again and he let loose, started bawling, tears streaming down his face. So of course she comforted him and finished feeding and he didn't spit anymore. I figured once I got him home, it would be back to the same big mess at dinner, but he ate every bite without so much as sticking his tongue out and hardly even spilled a drop like such a big boy. I was so proud of that little stinker! And he hasn't done it since. But most of all, I think it's so funny that I can get on to him, and he could care less...he'd just laugh at me. But he sure didn't want Miss Tracy to get mad at him, it hurt his feelings! Guess we see where I rank! : )
