Backer - sleep shush/patting

Had to share this story with you. The other night, when Lara woke, I started to feed her as normal. But the Backer, immediately started to "shush". It was clear he was fast asleep. I watched... and I was rewarded!
He started to pat his pillow.... then, he started doing an action that I can only guess was him trying to put the "dummy" back in the "babies" mouth!!! At this stage, I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud as didn't want to wake the baby. But then it got better. he was propped up on his elbow.. and suddenly started looking around. And then he stared at his pillow. And lifted it up... to look underneath...
Right then the tears started to flow from my eyes. I was laughing so hard. He then turned toward me, now awake and asked me why I was laughing. I couldn't talk, I was snorting and crying and laughing (miraculously the baby didn't wake up) and when he realised, he too started to laugh. later on he told me when he woke he looked at the pillow and thought "where's the baby".

Maybe you had to be there. But it was hilarious.
