Applause

Most babies are well under a year old when they start clapping their hands. Sam just refused to do it. Now that he has started to clap, he is making up for lost time.

No matter what he accomplishes, it requires a round of applause. He has to set his spoon down between each bite to clap. He brings me things he isn't supposed to have, just so he can clap for himself when I thank him. Last night, as he was drifting off to sleep, I watched as he softly, slowly clapped in the dark.

Hooray for Sam!
