Watching Scarlet teach/encourage Liam to put his face in the water and blow bubbles. Liam has been interested in blowing bubbles for awhile (I believe he is technically behind on this developmentally as I distinctly recall Scarlet doing this at 9 months-old with ease...ahhh second child. He'll get it eventually.)
In the bath tonight Liam would tap Scarlet on the shoulder/chest region and look her square in the eyes. Cueing her to look at me, Big Sister. He would then dip his mouth, nose, eyes in the water for a millisecond. He would come up and look at her squarely again to see her response. To this Scarlet would cheer/clap (FAR louder than necessary, but soo dang cute) "Yea!!! Good job, Buddy!" Liam's response to this was to shriek even louder (this was the loudest bath in the history of time), beam with delight and clap for himself, his sister's enthusiasm and perhaps just for life in general. I'm doing it, I'm doing it! Well, I must be doing something!
He never did actually blow any bubbles, but ya couldn't tell from the raucous applause..
Worst Part of the Day-
12 hour Day #1 outside of the home has begun. Ma lawdy.
