Winking

Cameron has been practicing 'winking' and 'blinking' for quite some time now.

He will happily tell you the difference--that winking is with one eye, blinking is with two.

Obviously, getting the hang of the wink (and keeping your other eye wide open) is a challenge for a four-year-old....but Cameron practices diligently. It's quite hilarious to see him using his hand to keep one eye open while opening and closing the other eye. *giggle*

I have told him (over and over) that winking is something that is hard to do, even for grown-ups. But, "....you should keep working on it, because you will eventually get the hang of it, buddy!!"

He believes that soon, very soon, he will be able to master this skill.

The other day, Miss Lola was waking up from her nap. I was holding her, and Cameron was right next to both of us on the couch. Lola was having a bit of trouble getting both eyes open, and Cameron looked down at just the right time to catch her in a one-eyed gaze. She was literally staring straight at him.

"HEY!" Cameron screamed, right in my ear said.

"What, Cameron? Geesh, you scared the daylights out of me! Don't scream like that with baby Lola right here, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy . . . . it's just . . . . . it's just that . . . . .Lola is so little! How does she know how to wink already? That's just not FAIR!!"
