This happened sometime yesterday morning, maybe around 4am,and it was one of the funniest mornings Christian and I ever had.
Background
Julie is bent over the moses basket looking at Sophie who is emanating a mosquito-like wail. Christian slowly stirs at the noise. Christian jumps out of bed. Crosses the room to where the moses basket containing Sophie is. Without saying a word he picks her up and, in one motion, slings her over his shoulder and gives her a loud whack on the back.
Julie: (Surprised and a little alarmed) What are you doing?! She doesn't need to burp. She hasn't drunk any milk yet.
Christian halts in his action and just stares sleepily at Julie.
Julie: She's just going to sleep if you carry her. I was watching her to see if she would crap.
Christian: (Slowly waking up)Oh.
Christian then puts her back in the basket and goes to the toilet. When he comes back he is more awake.
Christian: (Smiling and sheepish) Sorry, didn't mean to interfere.
Julie: (Giggling)You're such a caveman! (Lowers her voice to imitate Christian) Oh. Baby making noise. Papa pick up baby. Whack!
Christian and Julie break down in hysterical laughter.
Meanwhile... there is a nappy to be changed!
