Lincoln's New Trick

I've been trying to teach Linc to do somersaults for quite awhile, but he's always been uninterested in doing them by himself. Then the other day we were all just hanging out in the living room, and with no prompting at all, Linc starts doing somersaults. He was pretty pleased with himself too.

He's been catching on to things so quickly lately. The same day he did the somersaults, he and I were coloring on a legal pad with black pens. Lincoln got some pen on his face, so I licked my thumb (beware, what you are about to read may be extremely graphic and disgusting, but I couldn't help it I'm a mom.) and used the spit to clean pen off of his cheek. Several minutes later, Lincoln was trying to stick his fingers in my mouth. I couldn't figure out what he was doing for the longest time, but he was persistent and eventually got his fingers in my mouth and across my tongue and then started rubbing a spot on his arm where he had gotten a pen mark on it. Once we figured out what he was doing, Aaron and I laughed pretty hard, then promptly taught him how to use his own spit to get the pen off.
