Last night
Josiah came to Kevin last night after being tucked in and said, “I need to yawn, but I can’t!”
Kevin tucked him back in only to have him come out a few minutes later: “I need to go to Mommy. So she can take me to the hospital - because I can’t yawn!“
This morning I asked him about it and he said, “I still can’t yawn.”
Then later on when we were in the car taking the older kids to art class, he shouted, “Hey, Mommy! I yawned!”
Little blessings. 
And how many of us are yawning right now, I wonder?

August 22nd, 2006 at 8:36 pmHas he ever been on an airplane? You know how you tell your kids to yawn (or chew, or drink, or…) to keep their ears open? Maybe he needed to pop his ears… Or maybe he’s just inherently amusing like all young kids and I need to stop analyzing this. :^)

August 23rd, 2006 at 12:25 pmglad to hear he’s had a good yawn this morning.
Could he be cutting a molar way in the back?
I checked - no molar coming in. I’ve had this happen to me before - something to do with thinking about it too much, then you can’t do it. The more you want to, the harder it is. Once you forget about it, then you’re fine. I just thought it was cute how much of a crisis he thought it was!
