how to make people do funny things
we are trying a new routine where they give me my bink at night and put me down in my crib when i’m really sleepy but not yet asleep. it worked pretty well. the next thing i knew it was about eight hours later.
anyway, i’ve learned how to make mj and bg do really stupid-looking things. it’s all about me smiling and laughing at the right time. first they do something like smile at me. then i smile back. then they smile at me. then i smile back, but not as big as before. soon i stop smiling, and they try something like smiling bigger, or laughing. then i smile and laugh. when they do it again, i stop smiling back, so they have to do something even bigger and sillier, like shaking their heads back and forth while making a b-b-b-b-b-b noise. then i shriek with laughter./
at this rate i should be able to get them to do really goofy things in short order. i wonder if anyone else has ever thought about doing this before. if not, i will call this the eli approach to getting people to do silly things.

Eli, I think I will try the “Eli Approach” on my next date if things get boring.
Thanks for the tip.

Eli, I think the new approach to your sleeping is better. You need your binky to help you sleep. It is a comfort thing. So mj and bg were very wise in letting you have it back. Keep making mj and bg do funny things because I want to see it when I next come to see you.
Love, Mama Ray
