Sticking tongue out

[skylark002]

It's time for a real post here!

Ok, so at daycare, the kid that is closest in age to DS is about a year, and is constantly sticking out his tongue.  The past couple of days, DS is sticking his out too!  Could he be picking this up from the other kid? Do your babies do the same?  My husband says he picked it up from the other kid, but I am leaning towards the "babies do weird things" camp.  What do you think?

My baby has been sticking her tongue out all the time since about two months. I think it's normal. I think it's a sensory thing, but I could be wrong.

My LO pretty much always has his tongue sticking out. I think it is that babies do weird stuff or your LO has discovered his tongue and that's why it is alway out. I wouldn't necessarily blame it on another kid.

DS makes some of the faces I make at him. Your baby could be copying the other child.

We caught C sticking her tongue out in utero at our 36-week ultrasound. She still does it. She's a weirdo.

People always comment on DD's tongue because it's ALWAYS sticking out!

[leskay]

My LO always has her tongue out and even spits: blows siliva out of her mouth when she's pissed

Yeah! Add me to the my child always has his tongue out camp.

DS did this around three months mimicking us. He stopped for awhile but is doing it again now.

I am just unreasonably worried that he is going to stick it out forever!

I don't think that's an unreasonable worry given how sassy some children are.

btw if I use tinypic for a video, does it stay on the internet forever?? Shit. They do. I contacted the site. I'm so mad at myself. 

I just tried to upload a video for you of my lo. Now I'm nervous...


Shit. They do. I contacted the site. I'm so mad at myself.


Anyway, my son always has his tongue out.

Then I'd like to take this moment to remind you all that these are BABIES. They are not getting sassy, they don't even know where their tongue is. I'm laughing that this is a legit concern.

HOW DARE YOU. C always knows where her tongue is. It is her most prized possession and favorite toy.

I am not legit concerned that DS is going to literally stick his tongue out forever. But this is how he looks all day suddenly: Make it stop!!!

Random story that this reminds me of- When I used to teach Kindergarten in the Bronx there was this one little boy who always showed up to school with several tubes of lip gloss in his pocket. His mom always said it was "for his girlfriends" but he never seemed to share it.  One day when all of the kids were sitting at the tables waiting to get picked up at the end of the day he turned to a little girl at the next table and called out "Oh my GOD, Honey, I LOVE your SHOES!"

Uhhh ... How long ago was this? This might have been one of my little cousins.

One of them is gender queer now and the other is a drag queen.

Too funny.  I could be off by a year, but I'm pretty sure it was the 2003-2004 school year. It's remotely possibly it was 2004-2005. I'm sure I'm not off by two years though because I only worked there three years.  He was a sweet kid- I always wonder what happened to him.
