Best Mom Tip #110: Kiss a baby's fingers

I realize that if you don't have a baby, this is the kind of advice that might precede your meeting a policeman. But I do have a baby and he really loves it when I kiss his fingers.

He giggles and coos and sometimes laughs out loud. His sweet little eyes look into mine and he seems absolutely content. Although the baby phase is tiring, I love how easy it is to make their whole world feel complete. Sweet baby.

In other news, Ricky Gervais made ME laugh out loud when he was the celebrity guest on Sesame Street. Imagine him trying to convince Elmo that he is, in fact, a celebrity. Pretty funny stuff.

Get your laughs where you can, I say. Even baby tickling and children's programming.
