Like father, like son....

So, I've written a good bit about Kiley, mainly because she's 4 and can verbalize her feelings, thoughts, etc. not to intentionally exclude Tate :) But he has his own special way to communicate with us even though his most clearly spoken words at this point are words like, "ball", "mama", "dada", "woo,woo", "meow" and so on. So as many of you parents can relate, most nights he ends up in our bed at some point. He goes to bed in his bed but rarely stays there. Well, a couple nights ago it was about 2:40am, Shanes asleep beside me and Tate had just awakened and I picked him up and put him between us. Not often does Shane snore, but he had been sick with sinus congestion and that often leads to pretty loud snoring. So Tate and I were laying there trying to go back to sleep and here Shane goes...sawing some zzzzz's. I opened my eyes because I was facing Tate (he was laying on his back with his head on my pillow) and I could see that his eyes were opened I just closed my eyes again thinking he would soon drift off to sleep despite the commotion from Daddy's side of the bed. After a few minutes of some pretty loud snoring I gently tapped Shanes leg under the covers trying to rouse him enough to get him to stop. That didn't make a dent so I decided to just ignore it -seeing he does work SOOOO hard for us and has to get up SOOOO early for work...(thank you baby!) When I did that I noticed Tates eyes were still open - at that exact moment Tate looked over at me and made this noise that sounded like he was trying to clear his throat. At first I didn't know what he was doing, but I soon caught on! Every time Shane would breathe in and snore, Tate would mimic him and make his "throat clearing" noise....It was the funniest thing! Snoring just like Daddy! :) Even funnier though, is the fact that through his own snoring, Tate's mimicing, and my "silent" laughing Shane never missed a beat......keep snoring baby....we love you just the way you are!
