eyebrows game

One day a couple weeks ago while walking Elijah to sleep in his bedroom, I looked at him and raised my eyebrows just for fun. He giggled. I did it again, he laughed a little, but kept his thumb in his mouth so he could resume sucking it shortly. I did it again, he cracked up :) Ever since then raising our eyebrows to each other has become a fun game. Daddy was also allowed to join. Sometimes all we need to do is to say his name with a certain inflection in our voice to get him raising his eyebrows right away. Sometimes he starts the game himself, and sometimes he'd try to do it to get our attention. Silly kid! He doesn't realize that raising your eyebrows doesn't make any sound, so if we are not looking at him, his attempt at attention getting miserably fails!

The game is most often played at dinner table. We just sit around and raise our eyebrows at each other for a few minutes, then go back to eating. Weird family!
