What a fun last little bit of time spent with Dempsey tonight before bed! He was wound up because I was tickling him and messing with him. I would make a sound that resembles suspense or anticipation then declare a body part of his and tickle it. He would giggle that infectious toddler giggle and I'd start giggling too. We did that for a short while and distracted Daddy and Sawyer's reading of a new book.
When Jake took Sawyer to do bed time Dempsey was still in need of unwinding. He was interested in making "circles" in our living room- aka spinning.
So, while he made circles I said the ABCs aloud. At first he was saying them with me but after a few times he was just concentrating on spinning. It was awesome. I wish I had had my phone handy to record this but it was not close by and I didn't want to stop this session of fun with my Dempsey.
When he would finish spinning as I finished the alphabet, I would spread my arms wide and he would run the width of our living room into them and we'd laugh and kiss. Then it would all repeat again.
Heavenly! Just heavenly.
