I’m a bad daddy. One of my favorite games I used to play with my dad as a kid was the tickle game. He’d hold up his fingers and I’d pick one at a time until I picked the magic tickle finger (supposedly pre-determined by my dad) at which point I would get tickled. For whatever reason I decided tonight to teach Maile this game (despite the fact that she hasn’t shown any indication that she knows what fingers are or decision-making ability that would enable her to “select” a finger).
I think its safe to say this experiment did not go well and we will be waiting a little longer to reintroduce the tickle game to Maile.
