*Yawn*-Did you do it?

Have you heard that yawning is contagious?

Do you yawn when someone else does?

Not only can yawning be contagious, but if you yawn when someone else does it shows you are an empathetic or sympathetic person.

Did you just yawn now?

Well, not only do I yawn when other people do but when I feed this cute guy
and he opens his mouth to eat and chew food, so do I.

I wonder what that says about me.

Yes.. I must just be oozing with sympathy.

Though my pouting/crying 4 year old might have a different opinion.

How about you, are you sympathetic?

    Man, that babe gets cuter in every picture!

    I totally yawn when other people do and it seems like I might have done that when feeding my kids baby food too. . .must be why we're such good friends! ;)

    He is so cute! Love that smile too, what a great capture.

    I'm always yawning, I think it comes with the territory of being a mom of little ones!

    LOL, honestly, I'm *not* super sympathetic. I'm usually the one that says 'you're fine, come on...'

    Ryder is my daughter's boyfriend, in case you didn't know. He's adorable!

    I am DEFINITELY a sympathetic yawner. I'm not sure that that REALLY translates to the rest of my life. Though I have been working on being more empathetic.

    I DO yawn when I see other people yawn. This post didn't make me yawn though. I think I was trying too hard not to. LOL

    I always yawn when other people do. Lula Mae does too. If we are all reading on the couch before bed... there is always a yawn fest! One person starts and then the rest follow!

    I started working in a nursery when I was 16 and I got picked on so bad for how I fed babies. I swear the eat better if I "eat" along with them! Lula Mae calls me out on it though when I do it feeding Jayce... she's so nice like that ;-)

    When Emma tries to put something in my mouth, she opens her mouth really wide. It's the cutest thing!

    Yesterday I was helping my 5 year old scoop up some noodles and I realized I was making the weirdest face with my mouth working like I was gonna eat or something. I felt like a nerd.

    ***Yawn*** Excuse me. It's so funny that we chew when we feed our babies. And we also make hand gestures when we are on the phone.

    I didn't do it just reading about it but I will if I see you do it.

    And MY GOSH Ryder is ADORABLE! I am just loving these photos! His smile is amazing!

    I just want to gush his cheeks! So so cute! The Doctor Seuss Sleep book is the worst when it comes to yawns! And I think it is impossible to feed babies without imitating them. I have tried.

    I yawned just from reading this post. Not because it was boring or anything...I always yawn at the word "yawn". I must be REALLY empathetic!!!

    Ryder is so cute! I love how chubby he's gotten!
