I learned from Kensie's daycare teacher that she loves to look in the mirror. When I came to visit her at lunchtime on Friday, she was set up in a bouncy chair facing a huge mirror. The teacher, Sandy, told me that she smiles and talks to herself when looking in the mirror. So, I decided to try and replicate this at home this morning. I moved the little mirror on the play gym up over Kensie's head, so she could lay flat and look up at herself. And lo and behold, she started smiling at herself! While she usually tires of the gym after about 10 minutes, this mirror trick kept her happy for an hour. She kicked at the hanging toys and gazed at herself, smiling once in a while. And then, I looked over at her, and she was passed out asleep. It is hard work admiring yourself, I guess.
