spit from Louie's perspective
How do you express frustration when you are the youngest and not quite verbal? Our toddler has currently decided that rasberry-esque spittle is his best defense. Picture 2-year-old Louie piercing his lips and then letting his slobber fly to the "ugh"s and "yuck"s of his elder brother and sister--mission accomplished.
Of course we are trying to stop this habit, but sometimes it reduced us to tearful laughter. Yesterday during our morning family devotion, Louie entered the spittle Olympics. Jonathan had woken up on the wrong side of the bed and grumped his way through the hymn. Louie obviously thought that his elder brother should be in a better mood so here's the full cycle: Jonathan grumps, I play a verse of 'More Love to Thee', Louie sprays. Jonathan grumps, I play the next verse of 'More Love to Thee', Louie sprays....
But the fourth verse we were all cackling.
The grumps were gone.
(And we all needed a bath.)

O, there are moments I wish I could use Louie's method during some of the meetings I attend. : )
