Sleep Crawling

One day, Rai, hopefully you'll think that your parents are cool enough to watch a movie together with them. When that time comes, we'll watch the comedy 'Step Brothers'. Together, we will laugh so hard that we may fall off the couch. One scene that you can especially look forward to is the sleep-walking scene. Hilarious.
But, you already know something about sleep-walking, don't you? Actually, in your case, it's sleep crawling. Now that you're a master of the back to front roll, crawl, sit, and stand in the crib, it has gotten tougher to put you to bed for the night. Whereas before, you'd lay on your back and drift to sleep almost instantly, there is now a 15 minute period of time during which you, almost involuntarily, go through the motions of flipping over, crawling, sitting and standing.
There's no stopping you -- it's like your muscles are practicing this new (important) sequence of steps. All we can do is stand there and lay you back down on your back, over and over again. Eventually, you wear yourself out. Still, even as you drift off to sleep, your muscles keep going: flip, assume crawling posture and... you're asleep, frozen in that half-crawling position. Hilarious. Maybe even more hilarious than that movie.
