I knew it was coming. I knew that eventually Jaycee would figure out how to turn her daddy into a pile of warm play-doh that let her do whatever she wanted; I just didn't think it would be so soon. One of Jaycee's newest little gimmicks is the biggest teeth smile you have ever seen. If she were to smile any bigger, her face would surely crack. The funniest thing about this giant grin is when she chooses to use it. When she sees something funny or is smiling back at you, she has a standard sealed lip smile. But when she sees you have something she wants, that magical grin appears as she walks toward you with her hand(s) out. You see the picture. How could you not hand over what ever it is that you have that she wants? I'm sure it won't be long before she starts to flash that smile instead of throwing a tantrum. Also new in Jaycee's bag of tricks is the pointer finger. Not only can she show you exactly what she wants with her finger, but she has also found it to be a useful tool when trying to figure out if something is worth playing with or if the dogs are asleep or not. As I write this, Jaycee is poking Bella (our Chihuahua) in the nose to she if she wants to play or not.
Between the pointing and the grinning, I am rarely confused about what Jaycee wants from me. The question is: how the heck am I supposed to say no...
