Mr Sandman

Oscar laughed for the first time a few days ago, and he has done it again several times since. Unfortunately each time it has been in his sleep, so I have no idea what he thinks is so funny. And after reading dozens of websites with varying degrees of professional medical opinion, it seems I can't even be sure that he is dreaming of anything at all.

Most doctors agree that because babies go through phases of REM sleep, then they must in consequence dream. They also agree that these dreams must be a silent succession of images that reflect their experiences in life so far.

I can only conclude, then, that Oscar finds my breasts, his bear or his bedroom hilarious. Or perhaps it's his father's extremely expressive eyebrows that crack him up...
