Ben and motorbikes

I don't think I ever noted this in my blog, so before I forget I wanted to jot it down.

When Ben was a newborn his 'witching hour' aka his 'fussy time' was around 5pm. The only thing that seemed to make him happy was holding him in front of us, facing outward, and making motorbike sounds as we zoomed him around the house. The things we do to soothe babies!

And when Ben was older, but still an infant, he would make his own 'motorbike' sounds while trying to fall asleep. I suppose it was his way of blocking external stimuli, like his own white noise. We always said Ben was 'riding the motorbike to dreamland.'
