I don't know why I feel compelled to make this list--okay, in all honesty, it's late and I have no other ideas. So without further ado:
1. Sprinkle cinammon on his applesauce and hear him laugh.
2. Make an exaggerated "MMMM" sound when he eats and hear him laugh.
3. Make an exaggerated "UUUUUH" sound when I half-lift him from one step to another on any dangerous staircase. And hear him laugh.
4. Point to the letters of the alphabet and shout them out to him like a football coach. (Eliciting, if not a laugh, an interested grin as he drinks his milk.)
5. Go for a walk with him and hear him say Dah (for "dog") as he points dramatically at a dog--or a bird, or a car.
6. Ask "Where's A?" while looking at the title of a book and see him point to the correct letter.
7. Brush his teeth, which involves my son clamping down on the head of his toothbrush with all his might while I attempt to jiggle it back and forth a bit.
8. Hold him with both hands then say "WHOOPS" and bend forward suddenly as if I'm going to drop him, and hear his laughter (but not the peals of laughter my husband produces from him with similar but more physical maneuvers).
9. Observe the seriousness with which he examines his own belly button.
10. Observe the seriousness with which he dances (bouncing up and down) to certain songs on the stereo.
I could go on and on. I say they're not extraordinary but of course, to me, they're unbelievably exciting and entertaining.
