I'm desperately trying to hang onto Baby A's daily nap, but as he is getting closer and closer to 3, he is only napping about half the time. Today I put him up in his crib and he never fell asleep. Instead, I could hear him singing and talking to himself. When it became clear that he was not going to fall asleep anytime soon, I went to get him out. I walked into the room to see him standing up in his crib with both arms straight out in front of him.
Baby A: "This hand is not talking to this hand!" (gesturing wildly with his arms).
Me: "What?"
Baby A: "This hand" (holding up his left hand) "is not talking to this hand!" (holding up his right hand).
Me: "Oh. Why not?"
Baby A: "This hand is Percy." (gesturing with his left hand). "And this hand is Thomas." (gesturing with his right hand).
Me: "OK...but why aren't they talking to each other?"
Baby A: "I no idea!"
Me: "What do you mean? How come Percy isn't talking to Thomas?"
Baby A: "I no idea!"
Me: "But aren't you in charge of your own hands?"
Baby A: "Yes, I in charge of my hands!"
Me: "So then why aren't they talking to each other?!"
Baby A: "I no idea!"
Interesting to see a little window into what's going on in his head. I have no idea either!
