New Habits

Gusi is blossoming into a very loving child. His latest antic is blowing raspberries on us just as we do to him. We go for his belly but to get him to really giggle we do his legs or his back. Now he's learned how to blow them himself and he will blow on any body part that is uncovered by clothes. Today he surprised me and blew a raspberry on my neck. He laughed at the thought of making me laugh. He always loves blowing raspberries on his father and the two can do it for hours on end it seems. The fact that he's learning and imitating is proof that he's growing more and more each day.

Another new habit is what I like to call the blame game. I have no idea how he thought to do this but he has done it. Now, every time he toots (kid-speak for passing gas) and he knows we've heard it, he asks if Mama's done it. I give him a look of shock and say that of course it wasn't me. Then he turns to his father and asks if it was him and he does the same thing. Then we say Gusi did it and he laughs. But every time he toots he wants to blame it on someone else. He's much too clever.
