Witching Hour Wakeys

So the little one decided to wake up at 330am. I knew he woke up cos he was calling me, "Mama! Mama!". Thankfully he stayed in bed throughout and didn't get out to explore like he has done previously.

Usually when he wakes up like this in the middle of the night, I don't engage him much beyond telling him he needs to go back to sleep. And he is quite happy to sing to himself. 

On the song-list this time: 

- ABCs 
- Baby Shark 
- His originally composed song with the lyrics "jabai jabai ju ju ju" 
- Let It Go 
- Numbers 

I was surprised with Let It Go because he hasn't actually watched Frozen, and only knows the song because I keep playing a video of cousin-I singing the song. So the lyrics aren't that clear but I recognised some of the words that he was singing.

Colour me impressed. 

Anyway the sweetest part was when he suddenly took my hand and put it on his chest, and settled down to sleep. He's never done that before! While most babies have a lovey or chouchou (usually a pillow or small blanket or stuffed toy), he uses my hair as his chouchou, holding it and twirling it between his fingers as he drifts off to sleep. I do pat him as well, but he has never actually asked me to hold him before. Whee!
