cheese, with bonus catbutt

[mamajoan]

Last night, when I picked Isaac up at daycare, his face was painted. LOL, at first I thought he had just gotten a little over-exuberant with the markers; but no, all the kids got their faces painted yesterday. Fun! So when we got home I took some pictures before washing it off.

"Cheese, with bonus catbutt" is my caption for the first two pictures. Isaac is wearing a cheesy grin -- sort of literally, as he's actually saying "cheese" here.





My child is ALWAYS pulling up his shirt like this. I think it's just a nervous mannerism. It's too funny.


This is what happens when you ask Isaac how old he is. He tries to put up two fingers, then he gives up on that and just throws both hands in the air and goes "I'm two and a HALF!"


And finally, just some random hamming it up for the camera!




Hee hee. My child is such a ham.

The whole picking his shirt up thing is very common in boys of a certain age. Its usually not a nervous mannerism, it has to do with a fascination with the texture and feel of clothing-on-skin as versus exposed-to-the-elements-skin. Its the manifestation of a child, who has not yet been forced to focus and tune-out all the stimuli they receive experiencing his tactile sensations. Watch, I bet there are other manifestations of this as well...

It's like the Picard Maneuver, except reversed...

Looks like he has a decent relationship with the cat now, the way he's casually touching him.

I keep forgetting how tiny he must be compared to bigger kids, until I see him in scale!

That's what I was thinking, plus Bini's tail is high in the air, which means he's feeling happy and sociable.

My gosh, what an adorable little boy.

If you watch your son's classmates, you'll most likely notice that shirt-lifting is very common but parents of boys and girls respond differently to it. Boys are allowed or even encouraged (e.g., by tickling their bellies) to lift their shirts. Girls are usually discouraged. Parents and preschool teachers will reach out and pull the shirt back down or they'll say "shirt down, please" or "that's not modest" - or they'll SAY something that seems neutral like "that's your belly" but pull the shirt down anyway.

Awww, he's adorable!

And I agree with whuffle. My godson and a few other kids I've known around that age have also had the shirt-up fascination.
