For quite some time now "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" has been the song we sing Noah when it's bedtime. He knows the hand motions and does them along with us while we sing.
Tonight we were sitting on the couch and Noah started opening and closing both of his hands. I'd seen him to do this one other night but thought he was waving because it was with just one hand. At the time I said, "ya, that's right baby! Wave." But tonight, seeing him do it with both hands struck me like a ton of bricks..."Ohhhh! You're not waving, you're doing 'Twinkle, Twinkle'." So, I got up and carried him to bed, laid him down, pulled the covers up and turned off the light. And that was it. He slept.
Boy, did I feel stupid. :)
