One week ago yesterday, at the age of seven months and four days, my baby learned something new: the incredible joy of peek-a-boo. Now, it isn't as if we hadn't played this favorite-of-games before. Little L. E. Fant had held her breath in suspense as Mommy hid her face behind a blanket before this momentous day.But last Tuesday, dear little L. E. Fant realized she could pull the blanket over her own head. And then whisk it away just as suddenly.
I think everyone in the YMCA heard her ecstatic squeal of accomplishment.
If only we were so easy to delight as we grow older.
