Of monsters and babies

One of Gibson's favorite things in the world is when he's in the living room and I leave and then leap out of the various doorways leading to the room and roar at him.  

Remember my last post; he's not normal.

So anyway, he loves it.  He laughs and laughs and laughs.  And laughs.  For a really long time.  And it helps that this game gets Ellie excited, so she barks and runs around, which also makes him laugh.  It's a laughfest, people!

Today we were playing that game and he STARTED ROARING BACK AT ME.  This kid!!  I would leap out and roar, and then he would laugh, and when I went back behind the wall so he couldn't see me he would roar really loudly and laugh at himself.  

I just love him.  He thinks he's a scary monster, of course!  So we spent a good portion of this morning roaring at each other and laughing.

And also, Gibson learned to clap this morning!  I was singing to him and he started to clap ON THE BEAT.  That's not even a lie.  He really did.  But the next time I tried it he was rhythmically challenged, so I don't know whether he'll actually be a percussion prodigy.  It's hit or miss with this kid.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, a video of Gibson clapping, which is SO STINKING CUTE!

I like using the CAPS LOCK KEY, obviously.
