The Baby Giggler

I do have a husband.  Though you don't hear about him much on here, his name is Jerry. 

And he is a good Daddy.  He started out as a great baby Whisperer, providing just the right environment for any baby to fall asleep.

But like any good parent, he has evolved.  He has evolved into a baby Giggler.  Taking the most horrific meldowns and turning them into fits of giggles. 

Erin does not want to brush her teeth so Jerry turns it into a race.  "I bet you can't brush your teeth as fast as me".....screams and giggles as both race to the bathroom to get done first.

Eoin does not want to eat his dinner.  "Don't you eat the head off of my dinosaur (chicken nugget), don't you do it, don't you eat my chicken".  Eoin chases Jerry around the table to get a bit of the food.  Again screams and giggles.

And of course the toughest customer.....



If you are a wrestling fan just come on over and watch Jerry get Bridgie out of the tub and into her pajamas.  This was the least favorite task in the house, until.....

Jerry taught Bridgie how to anticipate....."Bridgie ah ah ah ah BLUEBERRIES!  Ah ah ah ah PINEAPPLE!  Ah ah ah ah PISTACHIOS!"  Jerry continues a whole serious of surprise food attacks while inserting tickles under her chin all the while forcing Bridgie's parts into a clown car of sorts.

And so that is why Jerry is the Baby Giggler.  A master of changing the tone, redirecting the focus, and turning fits into giggles.

 And why he is everyone's favorite.
