It didn't work I was unsuccessful. He never clapped on his own once. So when I took him to his year appointment I was sad to once again not mark off clapping on his chart.
I put the chart down and got out my phone to take our traditional Doctors office pictures. He smiled and laughed for me. Soo cute. Then I set him down smiled and told him he did a good job, and he looked up at me and clapped and clapped with this smug little smile on his face. Lauren was there and was just as shocked as I was. "Look Mom! He's clapping! He's finally clapping!!!. I have no doubt the little goose was holding out on me....
When the doctor came in and looked over his chart. He asked "Soo he can't clap??""
I replied. "Oh yes. Sorry, he can certainly clap. "
Then helpful Lauren said, "He just did! For the FIRST time EVER!!"
:D I Just kind of chuckled and looked sheepish.
*Lover of chocolate cookies and raisens.
*Gives the biggest toothy grins, showing all 6 teeth!
*Loves to condition his curls with yogurt and spagetti sauce.
*Loves to be outside, and out and about.
*Clicks his tongue when he is extra happy. He is also super ticklish, and has the best laugh!
*Super happy, mellow and good natured ...unless he's not feeling well, then he growls. Not shy about letting you know how he feels. :D
*Definitely a climber. Climbs up on anything within reach.
*Ellie is his favorite person. "Ellieeeee" Was first word he learned after Mom and Dad. They definitely have a special bond. One day she accidently bumped the pack-and-play into his nose, and he just cried saying Ellieee???Ellie ?????over and over. He was definitely trying to figure out why she would do such a thing to him. It was heart-breaking. She just picked him up and hugged him. After awhile, he forgave her and hugged her back. He gives the BeST hugs and kisses!
He also says Names(James), yes, good, hi, bye, done, dit do(thank you.) And bath.
*Not sure if I shared this on the blog before, but I want to remember. When Owen was just learning how to crawl, I was sitting in a mass of laundry on the living room floor, folding and organizing. Owen crawled over to James' underwear, sat down, and picked it up and held it up in the air and called out "Names! Names! Just like I do every week when I want the kids to come get their laundry piles. I was so impressed he got the right pile and the right kid, it gave me chills. Most kids his age didn't even talk.
*twinkly mischievous eyes with curly lashes.
*Loves to listen to music and stand by the piano and play us songs.
