Sometimes I have to wake my little guy from his nap. I like to snuggle up near him and feel his warm skin, watching while he slowly comes back to life.
Yesterday, I gently touched his knee and calf -- up and down. Eventually he stirred. And then he did the same to my leg - rubbing my knee and calf. He jolted awake, which isn't the norm. I realized that he'd noticed: I shaved my legs.
"Where's the prickles?"
I shaved! Doesn't it feel nice? All soft and smooth!
"But I want the prickles!!"
Oh, well,... they'll be back. Give it a couple of days.
... Good to know that my usual leg hygiene practices don't offend everyone!
Tater loves his feet tickled to wake up. I love the big hugs I get when he finally wakes up.

Wouldn't life be easier if EVERYONE liked the prickles?

Ahhh, he likes the prickles. Consider it good training for a future girlfriend/wife. She'll thank you! ;)

He wants the prickles! If only we could teach our husbands to say that!

HA HA HA! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! And what are these naps of which you speak? I think I need one.
