Just look at this face! Is is any wonder that I would do anything for him? I more deeply understand why women wage peace and kill their abusive partners to protect their sons and daughters.
About two weeks ago Linus started dancing. Actually, the exact date was February 3, which Matthew has proclaimed "Dancing Celebration Day." He says we should celebrate it each year. Linus dances by bobbing up and down while bending at the knees. It is positively adorable. First he would dance to Oh Susannah as played by his busy box, then to the music played by the caterpillar ball drop toy, and now even to Matthew's singing. Last night he danced to music on the Higher Ground radio show, which is international soul music. After Linus went to bed, Matthew and I danced to it in the kitchen.
In addition, Linus has started initiating play with us. A couple of days ago he went behind the lace curtain in the living room and started playing peekaboo with me. Then he stayed behind the curtain, holding still, while I kept asking, "Where's Linus? Where's Linus." Then he laughed while remaining hid. What a silly goose. Another time we were on the floor playing and he walked around me and stood up against my back hiding from me. After I asked, "Where's Linus?" he peeked his head up over my left shoulder and giggled. I can see why people have multiple children so they can keep experiencing this.

Ahhhh....maybe you're having second thoughts about only having one?????
We babysat Brian's niece last night and she cried the entire 4 hours. When her parents came to get her I said, "your baby hates us". We thought she wasn't feeling well but it turns out she just wanted nobody but her mom and dad - she was perfectly fine the moment they arrived. What a little stinker. Anyway, I told Brian that's why I didn't want anymore kids (try watching Amazing Race All Stars with a crying baby!) and he got annoyed with me. : )
