Pause for applause
I got a big lesson of positive feedback yesterday. Hannes gave it to me.
We were (read: Hannes was) lying on the washing machine, getting ready for a diaper change when I started to play our usual "Hannes runs, Hannes runs, Hannes runs .... Hannes jumps!" game. (We'll change it to "Hannes shoots, Hannes shoots ... Hannes scores" in a few years). But this time, Hannes would just flex all the muscles in his legs so that he looked like a future Olympic skeleton rider.
I was impressed
by his strong legs, really. So, I smiled and clapped my hands.
Hannes smiled his one-toothed smile back at me.
So I clapped my hands some more and yelled, "wow, Hannes, awesome!!"
And he did it again. And I was just as impressed. So he did it again. And I clapped my hands. And Hannes flexed his legs. And I yelled and applauded. And he... you get the point. It was very impressive to see him impress me.
And seriously, he does have really strong legs. I wasn't just pretending.
