The other night, Twin2 was standing in front of a full-length mirror, grinning impishly as he looked at himself in the mirror.
He’d exhale and push his tummy outwards and say, “BIIIG tummy!”
He’d then inhale and attempt to make his tummy as small as possible while saying, “Small tummy.”
He did this several times, laughing at himself. Then, realising that we were watching him and laughing at his antics, he sheepishly grinned and stopped :)

That was so cute! I think I used to be sort of like that when I was a kid. Comparing my smiles and frowns, though. :) Btw, thanks for visiting my site. My first time here. I read through your sidebar and I think it’s amazing & challenging at the same time that your work requires frequent travel. I would probably be visiting here more often. :)
Happy weekend!

Thanks for dropping by. I enjoyed your blog too.
The traveling part is easy; it’s leaving the children that’s tough! Even if it’s just for a few days and even though their Lola is with them.

So very cute :) One of my friend’s kids (ca. 2 yrs) likes to go up to his dad and say, “Daddy, daddy! Hair? Niiiiiiiceeeee.”
