Grey's Games

Grey's getting all sorts of personality. They manifest themselves in the games he plays. Here's his favorites:

1) Floor Attack. If Sean or I (and sometimes his brothers) are laying on the floor, he scuttles right over, giggling, and lands on top of our faces with a wide-open mouth.

2) Binky Battle. It all started when he was real real little, with Squeaky Bink. When he was crying despite having the pacifier in his mouth, we would wiggle it around his gums. It'd squeak and distract him from his sadness. Thus began his lifetime love of playing with his binky. His favorite thing is to have us grab the binky with our teeth (not the rubber part) and have him steal it from us. Then we steal it back. Back and forth. We teach thievery early in this family.

3) Refrigerator Raid. Anytime he's in the kitchen and the fridge door opens, here's there in less than three seconds. He tries to climb in and suck on anything he can reach.

4) Mouth Sharing. He's really good at sharing his things. But he only offers it to your mouth. Works with a cracker, not so much a toy car.

5) Toss & Chase. The kid loves balls. He tosses them away, chases it, tosses, chases, etc. Who needs a friend, he can play catch with himself!

6) Container Filling. Everything must belong in a container and Grey is happy to put them in their place. Very helpful when putting away Legos. This also manifests itself in tossing toys over the back of the church pew.

7) Head Turn. Grey pushes my head aside so he can play with my ear. He thinks it's so funny.

8) Run Up the Stairs and See How Fast Mom Hurries After Me. [Mama panic face] [baby delighted face]
