Olive learned a new trick this week. She learned to clap her hands! In typical Olive fashion, she has to scream like a tropical bird while doing so. She has to be vocal when she does pretty much anything. Between her and Ivey, it often sounds like I spend my day in an aviary!
Ivey has also learned a new trick. Ivey goes through periods of time where she flat out ignores her Daddy. She will act as if he isn't in the room, even if he is directly talking to her. It is teaching Jeff a lot about the fairer of the species. Just because they may ignore you doesn't always mean they don't like you. They just feel like ignoring you right then. Or, maybe, they know it will make you want to talk to them even more. Those Longinos would be totally different people if they had grown up with a sister in the house! During one of these periods of aloofness, Jeff was trying to get her to look at him in the eyes. He was right in front of her, and the only way she could prevent making eye contact with him was to cross her big blue saucer eyes. Thus, a new trick was born.... "Funny Eyes". She's taken a trick learned from not giving Daddy the time of day and reused it to crack him up and bring him to tears. That's my girl.
