  Maxwell lets me carry him like that when I am taking him from our bed right before lights out, to his bed in another room.  He won't let me do it other times, because I think  he associates it with bedtime.  It's like a bedtime ritual.  If we try to skip letting him up on our bed, he refuses to go to his bed.  But even 60 seconds on our bedspread, and he's content to be "carried" to bed.  I enjoy it, my husband just laughs.  |
