Connor has discovered a new game. It is exactly what it sounds, he likes to rub his fingers on your cheek (or other assorted known tickle spots, and even a few that aren't typically so), and say "Tickle, Tickles." And yes, the second one is always plural, for no apparent reason. His good cousins Katie and Josh got a fair share of it last night when they once again volunteered to babysit for us so Josh and I could go out to dinner.
This has become his newest defense against going to sleep at night as well. You see, he likes for Mommy to lay down with him for a few minutes before going "Night, Night." Up until recently, we went through the nightly ritual of Connor pointing out all the features of my face and then his - Eye, Other Eye, Nose, Ear, Other Ear, Mouth (still pronounced "Mouf"), Cheek, Other Cheek, Chin, and finally Eye Brow and Other Eye Brow.
So now, it's reach out with our fingers and touch Mommy's face and say "Tickle, Tickles!" It's always accompanied by an adorable little grin, but at this stage of the day usually doesn't get much response. Perhaps tomorrow, as I'm sure we will play it all over again during the day and just before bed.
