Elizabeth loves to read books! I have found a great trick to get her to lay still and happy while I change her diaper, it's to give her a book to read while I do it. There is one book that she has been reading a lot the last few days called "Counting Kisses" that she's been enjoying a lot. She loves it when I kiss her feet, and each time she picks up the book she lifts her feet to me, and makes kissy noises. She also loves pointing out the dog and cat each time she gets to those pages. But the thing that amazed me today while we read the book together is when I had the first page open. On it is a picture of the little baby is crying with tears going down it's cheeks. All of the sudden I heard Elizabeth start crying, I turned to her, and she then looked up at me with her fake cry face, and then it quickly turned into a huge grin on her face. She had recognized from the picture that the baby was sad, and mimicked the emotion herself!
Elizabeth has been having a great time making lots of faces. Not only with the book, but she loves make faces at herself. She has been loving reflections for this. Not only does she enjoy the mirror, but she has also found that the TV screen shows her reflection, as well as the computer screen, windows, and other glass surfaces, etc. She also waves hello and goodbye to her friend in the mirror whenever we go into or leave the bathroom. She is always on the look out for her friend in the reflection, to practice her silly faces on.
I love my girls creativity!
