High Five

It never ceases to amaze me on what children pick up or how they even learn things. This example of self-learning and is a good reminder that we are always being watched and that children do pay attention to the TV they are viewing, even at a very young age.

A couple weeks ago we took a day trip to Anderson, SC to do some "Tax Free Shopping". Sorry GA retailers - blame Sonny for taking away our tax free weekend. We hit the mall and stopped at the food court to eat. The babies like Chick-Fil-A (of course they do - we don't have one in Habersham!!!). About half way through lunch we saw Ellie offer a HIGH FIVE to Charlotte. She immediately laughed and responded with a hand in the air. Ellie then turns to Evan and without hesitation he slaps her hand and laughs. This set off about a 5 min high five session. We all were laughing and slapping hands. Others around us would just turn look and smile. It was fun but it left Jennifer and I with one strange question -Who taught them to High Five? Neither of us have made a big deal about it. Uncle Joe has tried to give Evan one but there was no response. It was puzzling, but we got over it pretty fast. Then a couple of days later the babies showed us where they got it from. Imagination Movers! It is a show on Disney and they love it. Several times in the show they do high fives. I was sitting on the couch watching them play while the Movers gave each other high fives - the babies on cue started giving each other fives as if they had been doing it all along. Here's some pictures from our lunch in Anderson.
