SOMETHING TO SNEEZE AT

Pre Sneeze

The Little One loves to sneeze.

We have no idea why. But moments before he lets loose with one, his face scrunches up and pauses for the briefest of moments, and then he lets loose. 

On most occasions, he is a double-sneezer, the second one coming about 1.5 seconds after the first. There is usually a line of spit connected to his mouth and chin in the aftermath of these events. That stuff doesn't seem to bother him. Once the sneeze is done, he gathers control of his face again, and he smiles from ear to ear.

Every single time.

Maybe it's because he is getting rid of some congestion and he can breathe easier. Maybe it's because he feels a little more alive after getting rocked back by a big one. Or maybe he just happens to think he is making a really cool noise, and he is proud of himself.

I'm not sure why this is on my mind today, but I love watching it happen. It's only natural that, as a baby who attends day care, the Little One is constantly picking up fresh batches of germs.

Without question, these germs are causing the sneezing, so I should probably be grossed out by the germs he is hurtling through the air.

But I'm not. He cracks me up when he breaks out into a big smile after each sneeze,

It cracks him up to, so we'll just let it be funny.
