Enjoy these days, they'll be grown and gone in no time. Cute story!

I took lots of video when the kids were growing up. Here's a few:

to laught at your child when they get wedged in a clothes hamper and are whining? Then laugh again when they do a face plant out of the same hamper into the carpet five minutes later?

No.

But it is mean not to have gotten it on video and posted it on Facebook or Youtube so you and the world could laugh at the child's distress over and over again.

I mean what's the point of having children if you can embarrass them to death?

On of my stepsons used to regularly throw fits and wedge himself in the clothes hamper, only not head, but butt, first, then be too worn out and tired from screaming that he'd just fall asleep there with his feet sticking up.

He'd also throw a fit and eventually lay in the middle of the floor with his head down, screaming (between 2-3 y.o.) and then start crying (only not quite so strongly) because he didn't have the strength to lift his head up, and konk out a couple of minutes later. I'll never forget listening to him "I can't lift up my HEAD waaahhh...zzzzzz."

at night my son when he knows it is bed time will cry like we just killed his dog or something for about three minutes and then he is out like a light. The best part about him being almost two is he sleeps very well because by that time he is so worn out.

It is mean not to point at the child, laugh derisively, ridicule the kid's intelligence and immediate ancestry all while videotaping the antics for future reference and sharing it on YouTube.
