Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands!
At dinner last night, Aidan clapped his hands for the FIRST TIME ever! All of a sudden, while feeding him buttery pasta noodles, he clapped his hands and smiled. All of a sudden, he just got it. From all the times I have been playing pat-a-cake with him as well as praising a good deed by clapping my hands, he FINALLY figured it out. I was so impressed!
Then, to make the moment even better, he turned around in his high chair to wave goodbye to a waitress. Yet another brand new thing that he has never done before. Everyone at our table was so shocked! And the best part about it was that he knew how cool it was that he figured out how to do this and was waving to everyone with a huge smile on his face.
On the way home, after tossing his toys out of reach of his car seat, he just sat there clapping his hands.
Love this kid!
