Tonight my 21 month old DS started crying because we put him carefully into his crib after he'd fallen asleep in my arms (or so we thought - turns out he was still a teensy bit awake). He sobbed so hard while shouting various instructions at us ("DOW" for get me down, etc.), that I made the massive mistake of trying to comfort him.
Still upset with me for committing this iniquitous crime, he pushed me away and apparently decided to self-comfort instead a-la Sound of Music by remembering of one of his favorite things. In between whole body-wracking sobs, he dramatically fell to his knees and screamed "COOOOOOOOKKKKIIIEEEEEE" loud and clear at the top of his lungs as if he was being murdered, and seemed afterwards to feel a bit better.
AIBU to have nearly wet myself laughing at this? I hate seeing him upset, but this was just so funny I couldn't help giggling, although I did manage to stifle it so as not to upset him further. As he'd already done his teeth he didn't get said cookie, but he did have snuggles until he dozed off.
May I ask for your cute/funny toddler stories?
