CRAZY HUH?
How he figured this out: He always used to stick his 2 fingers in his mouth (as demonstrated in the video) and pull on his eyelashes when he was tired. I'm guessing that at some point the pull turned into a flip and this is the result. Funny thing...he almost ALWAYS has to have his fingers in his mouth before he will flip the eyelid, though occasionally when he gets going and there is an audience involved he will take the fingers out and go for the grand display of flipping both eyelids at the same time. Obviously I wasn't that great of an audience.
I was (and maybe still am) a little worried that the cartilage (or whatever is in the eyelid) might lose it's shape and he'd end up with a deformed eye - which it actually looks like it is when this video ends but it's really not...at least not yet - so I talked to the pediatrician about it. She said that she didn't think it would do any damage but that it would probably be best to ignore it when he does it and hopefully he will stop doing it eventually. So far that hasn't happened - as you can tell by my encouraging him to do this for the camera for you all to see. btw...sorry for the squeals. I know they are obnoxious but that's the kind of reaction he really goes for.

SICK! I was telling Devin and he said he used to flip both eye lids when he was little...and I don't see any permant damage.
That is so funny! It's too bad he didn't do both for the camera! Love it, thanks for sharing it with us!
That is gross! I remember boys doing that in school and thinking it was disgusting back then! He's funny - and so cute!
That just made me so sick. NO more encouraging...yucky!
That is so funny! I have a sister who can flip both her eyelids too!
LOL...what a kid! I remember kids doing that on the school bus in elementary school. It absolutely freaked me out but it is absolutely adorable that Boston can do it!
Hey Tessie, I linked to your blog from Angie's. That is so crazy that he figured that out that young! We used to beg my dad to do that and thought it was the funniest thing ever! Your kids are cute!
