Name That Game

We've begun a new game. It's played at exactly the point at which I decide I'd like to lie down to sleep or at least listen to my hypnobabies tracks and relax. (Sometimes it's apparently appropriate while I'm working at my desk or have just begun driving somewhere). This is important, as the 1/2 hour BEFORE that time that I usually interrupt Booja's Law and Order addiction to try to make her feel the baby kick is when we play the very, very still game. The hour later when Mr. P gets home and tries to feel the baby move is the time for the "shy" game. But the new game is REALLY fun. Luckily we found an illustration as to how it's played...and all you other 24 week fetuses seem to figure it out even if your eyelids are still fused shut.

How it's played is the mommy relaxes as much as she can - for what purpose, it's unclear - as sleep is obviously something that happens anytime, anywhere. Before this, the mommy has probably made a trip to the bathroom...but that's the cool part of this game, it doesn't matter!! The baby takes their stomper (see picture) and does a dance much like that random chick that used to dance on stage while Arrested Development performed (if this reference doesn't add up, see the progression of the chick in jean shorts here ). Even though the baby in this game is a little more than a pound and suspended in liquid, the force somehow equals that of a 12 elephant stampede. What is the objective of this game you ask? I'm not quite sure, but I'm starting to think it's the fun ride the baby gets when the mommy has to jump up and run to the bathroom...over, and over, and over again. Fun game.
