My dad thinks he's soooo funny. With all the throwing around, the over-exaggerated faces, the noises (which aren't even English words!) and all the greetings (my God, how many times is he going to say hi to me in one day?).
My sister seems to have found a way to slow that smug bugger down. I have been observing closely and here is what appears to be her plan. Now bear in mind that this plan will be executed some time around 8pm (approximately 2 hours after bedtime).
1) Smile at Daddy when he says hi in that high pitched voice that he does
2) Puke on his shoulder (keep smiling)
3) Make little squeeky noises for him
4) Puke on own outfit (now Daddy has to change you)
5) Start to fuss a little bit while being changed (just until he puts a soother in your mouth)
6) Wait until he has finished changing you and has put on "the big bib" (that basically covers your entire front)
7) Puke on one square mm of space that is not covered by bib
8) Completely lose your mind while being changed this time
9) Allow Daddy to calm you down and feign sleep
10) Keep quiet while he puts you in the crib
11) Wait 3 minutes (he will usually be sitting in the chair by then)
12) Screech as if you have been hit with an axe
13) Watch Daddy spring from the chair like he's on fire (try not to giggle out loud)
14) Sit back and enjoy the rocking and bouncing
15) Repeat steps 12 and 13 until Daddy gives up
16) Sleep in Daddy's arms until hungry
After careful observations and note-taking, Daddy loses the "funny-man" act somewhere around step 8. Well done, sister. Well done, indeed.
