Where's the know-when-to-say-when?


Anonybabe has expanded on her where's the egg-shaker act over the weekend. First she'd put bits of food in her water glass and cock her head and make a "W" with her arms. "Where's the chicken?" I'd ask. Without breaking eye contact she'd reach into her class and grope for the soggy poultry, a "Wait for it! Waaaait for it....!" expression on her face, until she triumphantly pulled out the food with a "ta-daaa" look and popped the food in her mouth.

Next she morphed her disappearing act with her tendency to throw things off of every high surface. She'll throw her toy giraffe off of the changing table. "W" arms. She'd throw her book out of her crib. "W" arms. She'd throw food off of her high chair. "Bye bye food" I'd tell her.

It was cute the first 600 times, but we were both tiring of the act by yesterday evening. But that's okay, she is already working on her next feat: laying headbands on top of her head and socks on top of her feet in an approximation of getting dressed.
