Not that we’d been trying to show Sam how to do this, but after taking him to Amy’s performance with the Atlanta Ballet for the children’s showing of Peter and the Wolf, he picked up on that whole ‘applause’ thing.  While he remained entranced with the performers from our front-row seat (we took advantage of a no-show), he loved watching the dancers and hearing not just one, but FOUR French horns. But whenever the crowd broke into applause, he just had to turn around. So yesterday, he decided to spontaneously clap first for Mom, then again when Dad came home from work. He’s a genius, I tell you! Click here to watch the video (Quicktime required).
