Ever since Stone started sitting at the table with us, before ever meal, we have always said, "Fold your arms!", and of course he goes on talking, while we fold our arms and pray (bless the food). It's amazing what these little people catch onto!! Out of the blue last week during lunch, I said, as usual, "Fold your arms!" and HE DID! I totally thought it was a fluke, but it still made me happy. Then for dinner, same drill, and voila! He folded his arms. Every meal since then he has folded his arms. He even folded his arms in church on Sunday when we asked him to. AND, I spoke with my dad on the phone yesterday, told him Stone folds his arms now, and he asked to talk to Stone. Next thing, Stone's folding his arms, and I asked, "Dad, did you ask him to fold his arms??" Yup.
At the request of my mom, I took this picture this afternoon at lunch. He was too hungry to be cooperative, but he still managed to fold 'em.

That is so darling and so fun to see them grasping what we are telling them to do. We're trying to get Thomas to close his eyes, but it isn't too succsesful yet.
