Other One

B-Boy surprised me with a new concept he has mastered.

I was asking him to show me different parts of his body. "B-Boy, where is your nose? Where is your chin? Where is your ear?" He promptly showed me where they were.

I then asked him "B-Boy, where is your hand?". He showed me his left hand. I then asked him "B-Boy, where is your OTHER hand? Can you show me your other hand?"

And you know what? He took a second, and then showed me his right hand. I was shocked.

So we continued playing the new game "Show me your OTHER" where he pointed out his feet, eyes, and ears one at a time. I was so surprised, and Neb was too when we showed him our new game.

Neither one of us knew he understood that!

B-Boy's favorite game

I realized this morning that I have not shared with you B-Boy's favorite game! It's a take on Peek-A-Boo...

We call it "Where's B-Boy?"... and it usually goes like this.

I will lay a blanket or burp cloth over his head and say "Where's B-Boy?"

B-Boy will then lay really still, so as to not be discovered. I then repeat "Where's B-Boy? He was RIGHT here a second ago!" B-Boy then starts wiggling in anticipation.

"Is he under this foot?", I say as I lift his foot up. "No, not there. How about under this leg?"

And then one of two things happens. He will either start pulling on the cloth to reveal his face, or he will squirm in the fun expecting me to pull off the cloth.

When his face is revealed, I exclaim "There he is!" B-Boy gets the biggest smile on his face as if to say "Silly Mommy, I was here all the time! I'm a good hider!!" And then we start the game over again.

Which reminds me... Where's B-Boy?
