Excerpts from things I have heard murmured into my belly recently:
PH: Babby, you need to come out so I can hold you AND THEN I WILL EAT YOU ALL UP YUM YUM
***
PH: Hi, Babby, I’m your Daddy, but you can call me Snake.
Babby: *Kick*
Me: Did you just tell our child to call you SNAKE?
PH: Do you MIND? I’m TRYING to have a private conversation with my son.
***
PH: Hello, Babby, you are a babby. Want to hear a story? Once there was a babby, and he was loved very much, and then his uncle touched him in BAD PLACES.
***
And no, that last one was not biographical in any way, or a promise of anything to come, because our family isn’t into being evil.
Perfect Husband has just been negatively affected by the existence of this children’s book.
…It’s a good thing my son doesn’t actually speak English yet, but I despair about the world we are bringing him into.
One thing is for sure. HE WILL NOT BE READING THAT BOOK.
If By Yes 
WTF?? WHY??
OMG. That book is so utterly disturbing. How is that even out on the market? Who in their right mind thought this was good enough to sell and make money off of?? Not only that, but who would PURCHASE it??? Yuck. I love how they seem to spin the fact that gay seems to be a disorder that people get when they don’t get enough time, touch and talk from their fathers. *shudder*
I think it must have been self=published by wackos with some serious misconceptions about homosexuality!
I love the way PH is bonding with his babby in utero. So cute.
(Just don’t tell him that sometimes, when dad prods a finger into mom’s belly, baby kicks back. Because I can tell you from experience that it’s a tad uncomfortable, having your belly be the two-sided trampoline for this FUN DADDY-BABY GAME!!!)
And that book? Well, bleah. Obviously it’s written to be used in therapy with people who are being “cured” of their homosexuality… As if that’s not bad enough, the truly disturbing part is that it’s directed at children. And given the language in the book, it’s directed at children too young to be much aware of their sexuality. (In the sense of being ready to put it into practice.) That’s perverse and seriously disturbing. It’s wrong on so many levels.
Yes, I tell him when Babby kicks back, but the only time that annoys me is when he falls asleep with his arm across my belly when we spoon at night. Babby is like “hey!” and starts kicking the arm, but Perfect Husband is asleep so he doesn’t react, which seems to frustrate Babby, and then next thing I know I have popcorn popping inside me at increasingly frantic speeds. I have to move the arm to end things so I can sleep.
Hee, hee, hee! PH cracks me up! 😀
Chris used to try to get Liam to respond to his voice. Eventually, he’d just say — directly into the belly, so it was muffled — “Kick me in the face!” And Liam would. It became an ongoing, terribly lame, joke. But, such is the way of MY husband. 😛
LOL best babby command ever!
