When Tryptophan Attacks!
Here’s a little holiday safety tip you might be unaware of. Make sure you use the potty before eating your turkey dinner.
The funniest part was when I tried to wake him up. I sat him up and poked and prodded him for a few minutes while he whined and rubbed his eyes. I finally got him awake enough to flush the toilet, put his pants back on, and get up on the stool to wash his hands. He swayed precariously on the top step while he got his hands wet. On his first attempt to get soap, he kept trying to push the cold water tap while I stood next to him saying, "That’s not the soap, Gideon. The soap’s right next to you. That’s not the soap, Gideon. Gideon, that’s not the soap." before finally grabbing his hands and putting the soap on them myself. He went to rinse and started hopping up and down and crying. When I asked what the matter was, it became evident that the poor boy had fallen asleep before he had been able to go potty! Apparently tryptophan worked it’s sleepy-time magic on my boy in a big way!
That’s so SAD. sniffle, my poor boy.
All Dad could do is laugh.

The stuff works on me, but fortunately not so quickly nor so intensely. Hysterical!!

Promise me, please promise me, that this will be the baby picture that comes out when Gideon starts dating.
I’m SO loving this! Because I’m JUST that evil.
