I Know a Lot of Good Tricks

Well, so said the Cat in the Hat. This baby also apparently knows a good trick or two when he finds it. Today he has managed to repeatedly perform a new trick that involves 1) a foot, 2) my ribs, and 3) the muscles and skin right under my ribs.
For the past couple hours, our little friend has repeatedly stuck a foot up under my ribs--right against them, so that I can feel it while he slowly drags -- it -- down -- across -- each -- one, until POP! he gets to a soft place where the foot meets less resistance and it can stick our right under my ribs. Ta-da!
So, there's been this sort of drag - bump, drag-bump, drag-kick dance happening inside today. I think that he has officially proven the sort of intelligence that merits an early exit from the womb. He is obviously bored and now making up his own games. I'd be happier to play were they not uncomfortable, and I think that's more likely to happen on the outside of this body. Only a month to go...
