Flames

Each night before we sing Christmas carols, we light some candles. Emmett has lit a few himself, carefully supervised with matches (he can't get the child-proof flame stick to light- even I have trouble with that thing!). After singing, Emmett blows out the candles. Of course, Luke now wants to get in on this fun, so I hold him while he tries to blow out a candle. His version usually results in air going straight, blowing his little bangs into the air.

Luke is fascinated by the candles and fire in the fireplace. He quickly learned to sign "hot" and one night when David lit a fire, Luke was silently chanting "hot" every time he entered the room. It's especially cute when he stops in front of the fireplace, and you can see his little bangs blow up into the air.
