I see you shiver with antici.....

Dearest Lilah -

I just wanted to note that you have started to laugh in anticipation of getting a zerbert on the belly. It is HILARIOUS. You KNOW it is going to tickle, so you start to laugh before we even get to your belly.

And then sometimes you squeal. Really loudly.

I have found myself lately wondering when I draw the line on the squealing. I mean, I know you are just finding your voice and experimenting. I do not want to stifle that. I also do not want you to be that shrieking kid. Everyone sort of hates that kid. So, if you want to squeal right now, it's ok, but know that soon I will be asking you to stop.

Love,
Mommy.

PS: ...pation!
