That’s where she’s got us.

We will do anything to get a reaction out of her. It usually results in a quizzical and confused upward turn of her eyebrows, but occasionally, we do get that one big smile that makes up for feeling us feeling stupid the rest of the time.

Grandma, doing a dance.

Grandpa, blowing raspberries on her cheek.

She made us laugh so hard. Even before he touched her neck, she made a face.

I think she was pleading with Grandma here to intervene.

But Grandma was too busy laughing. So Ruthie gripped Grandpa’s shoulder and hung on until he was finished.

Or like on Groundhog’s day… R used Pilar the Gloworm as the makeshift groundhog and reenacted the event since Ruthie wasn’t able to attend.

Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen! Everybody’s favorite Gloworm – Pilar! She’s taking her time emerging from her bed…

[Ruth was not impressed at this point]

[Until she saw that Pilar was talking to her daddy.]

Everyone, shhhh.. Pilar is trying to tell me if she saw her shadow or not.

Pilar said, “I definitely see a shadow.”

And she made her exit with a whistled goodbye song.

It’s fun having a captive audience.
