Little Things

• We have been loving Shaun the Sheep episodes. Tess points at the TV and says, "baaa" several times a day, hoping I'll let her watch one. Last night we were watching one together in which one of the sheep makes a funny face. Tess almost doubled over she thought it was so funny. She kept looking at me and sticking out her tongue, trying to mimic the face. So now we make funny faces for laughs.
• Tess is very interested in Eric's birthday. She likes to talk about him blowing out a candle. (She babbles and then puts her hand in front of her mouth and blows to pantomime the act.) The other day when my parents asked her about the birthday, she kept pointing at her head and saying, "Mama, Dada, ouwie." I couldn't figure out what she meant, so she kept pointing to the table adamantly. I then realized that she was talking about the head-scratcher that Eric got for his birthday.
