I admit, when my son; was asleep, I'd imagine ways to get his attention. I remember, someone telling me in High School; that during his Summer Camp; bunk mates would play a prank on those who slept. I dunno if it's true but since my son was in diapers -i thought, wow; it would be great to try this out!
so, I decided to grab some warm water in a bowl and place it beside my sleeping child; then took his hand and tried to dip it in the water. Just then it made me question: could this story be true? it was difficult to put his hand in the bowl of water without getting him wet. I came to the conclusion that to properly do this prank, one must have the hand easily accessible and it must be lowered down into the bowl of water or water container. Since my failed attempt, I realized the crib is not the best condition to experiment if this does work. **smiles**
(for the record: I happen to have been enrolled in Parenting Class during High School, Adult and Child CPR certified, and a few crash courses in parenting workshops organized with the Hospital where my son was born)
I did have a time, trying to keep my laughter from waking the baby. It was the most 'silly' thing I think I've done while my son slept.
Similar topic, a morning interview of a mother who took pictures while her child slept. I thought it was most precious to see the Photography Portfolio online; I first saw these photographs on an old friend's blog (akit). So, when the interview was aired ( i don't remember which show ) i was impressed with her experience and I didn't even realize that the photos were taken of a sleeping child. As the story goes, from what I remember of the interview, she would take the clean laundry she had in the house and would piece together forced perceptions of a child awake. For instance, she would use blankets and books to create the image of the bookworm.
Here's a link of a few of her imaginative creations:
Listening to the interview, was humbling.
beautiful.
