... clap your hands!
Baby Zoe, you've been watching us, the grownups, clap our hands. We also practiced clapping together - Zoe's hand and mommy's hand together make sound: clap clap clap. On April 10 you started clapping on your own, with joy and persistence of a goal well achieved. The following day we Skyped with grandma Roza. You looked straight at the monitor, and displayed your newly earned skill, over and over.
In the meantime you also learned the occasions for clapping: Sometimes we clap when we sing. But we always clap when Zoe pees in her potty, or succeeds in something she's been trying to do, like standing up on her feet without support. A few days ago during dinner you picked the pea from your tray, and put it in your mouth. Papa and I cheered and clapped and continued eating. You repeated the action, looked at us victoriously, and started clapping for yourself. We joined you, proud and entertained. You are the cutest thing.
