Narcisistic Baby Boy

It's safe to say, that Kaiden has always been full of himself, even before birth.

We all knew exactly what his personality was going to be like from our experience with him during all of those ultra-sounds.

Apparently, he had been used to being looked at FIRST each week, until it came time to see what sort of gender my trio was going to be.

For whatever reason, the tech looked at Kian first and found that he was DEFINATELY a boy.

Then, when Vivienne bumped into Kian while we were busy oggling his little boy parts, the tech moved on to try and check her out.

By the time it was Kai's turn, he was very upset, and was pouting. We know, because he literally had turned himself all the way around to where his back was to us and he REFUSED to turn back around or let us see his little parts.

He pouted like this for the next two ultra-sounds, too. Of course, vanity did get the better of him, and he probably was jealous because he had yet to get his name, so he did finally do the winkie wave for us!

Once he was born, we knew that we were in trouble. I spent a lot of time in the NICU, just holding all of my babies.

I would sit there for hours rotating between them, singing and rocking them and just being with them.

They were born in March, and Easter was approaching, so we had our Easter music out and playing in our car.

I had been listening to Jesus Christ Superstar on the way over to the nursery that morning, and the last song that I heard had been, "Herod's song" so of course it was stuck in my head.

I wasn't thinking about it, and I inadvertantly started to sing it to Kai. He had the funniest reaction, too.

He stretched himself out all tall and proud, and became all smiley and smug, as I sang, "You are the Christ, You're the great Jesus Christ..."

Yep, he actually had decided that my song was about him. Ever since, he adores that song.

And even more funny, there are a few more that have that affect on him as well.

There is a lullaby that used to play on the lullaby channel that I had piped into their nursery called, "Rock-a-by Sweet Baby James."

Of course, my vain baby appears to have decided that the man is singing, "Rock-a-by Sweet Baby Kai."

He does this sort of thing even now that he is 2. I have a Beatles compilation in my car right now.
Kaiden has decided that Paul must be singing to him, and will actually calm down and stop crying if you put the track on "Hey Jude."

Kaiden is quite convinced that he is actually singing "Hey Dude" and of course this song must have been written for him, hence that nice calming affect it has on him when he is upset and sad!
I don't know what caused this narcisistic complex that Kaiden has. Maybe its just all a part in the building blocks of good self esteem, who knows!
