When Brian is told “no”, he throws his hands in the air, looks up toward heaven, slowly flops backwards, rolls halfway on one side, and then half on the other side. And then he is done. It is really funny. Except for the times when there is something behind him that he falls on. I guess that happened one too many times, and now usually he falls forward. But his hands are busy being thrown into the air, so they can’t brace his forward fall, so he lands face first into the carpet. Heh, kids are funny.
Brian the dramatist
Video of B’s performance art would be priceless.
I love it! Now you just have to teach him to throw in a pitiable moan or maybe a catch phrase, like, “Oh, the humanity!”
Oh, the moan is there sometimes, but most often it’s this pathetic slow motion pantomime of dramatic toddler goodness.
