Hickey??

Dear Son,

Yesterday we learned that putting you down to nap (HA!) without a shirt is a bad idea. We already knew that having you wear a shirt only results in you chewing it to the sopping wet point, and then being unable to sleep because your shirt is, well, sopping wet. Yesterday though, we learned that you were able to do something that we thought was impossible for everyone* to do - you tried to nurse from your own chest. The way we knew you had tried this? and tried HARD to do this?

You gave yourself a hickey on your chest.

While the point of hickies given by someone else has always escaped me (hi, you’re bruising me. Can you stop now?), I never would have thought anyone would do that to himself. It doesn’t seem to hurt you, and as long as CPS doesn’t come calling, nobody but us and the one other person who reads this blog will have to know… but seriously? Stop doing that!

Love,
Mama

*yes, yes, I know. I could probably do this. However, since I can also nurse around corners at this point, I truly don’t think I’m the norm.
