Move #4: "I'm happy. Look over there."

Alice is still intent on grabbing her dad's beard. To this end, she has been trying out some new moves lately. Her latest and greatest move is called "I'm happy, Look over there".

She begins this move by looking away and making a sweet face. This both distracts and lulls her dad into letting his guard down. She keeps acting like her interest is somewhere else until, WAM, out comes the arm in the opposite direction.

And yes, the parental brain translates all of this to mean one thing. All is understood to lead to a single inevitable conclusion. Our baby is sooooo smart!!!
