1. taking him to look in the mirror at himself, especially the medicine cabinet mirrors because I can angle the mirrors to make a whole bunch of him.
2. sitting him on the piano bench and letting him play for a while. He's working on refining a few of his more modern compositions.
3. me playing something for him on the piano
4. turning on some music, especially ragtime, and dancing with him
5. stoping what i'm doing and playing with him :)
6. playing pat-a-cake (i lay him on his back and do it with his feet)
7. playing peek-a-boo. this is best when i'm behind something with more than one side to come out from behind, so that i can surprise him sometimes.
8. stepping outside onto the porch, or walking around the back yard or driveway, or going for a walk in the stroller
9. giving him some cheerios, or a cold carrot stick to chew on (until he gets another tooth and can bite a piece off to choke on)
10. go into a different room, if weve been in the same one for a while
11. put him on my hip and walk back and forth through the house

Julie and Scott,
Please keep putting insights into Stanley's soul on the blog! It will help me in the near future. I'm really excited to hang out with him.
