If you're happy and you know it ...

But I can do much more with my hands than clapping. Mommy taught me to wave "Hello" and "Good Bye" and blow kisses. I am also adept with wai-ing (holding my hands together and bowing respectfully), whether to accompany the ubiquitous Thai greeting "Sawasdee ka" or extending a sincere apology.

I just learned to catch a ball; okay, not quite catch, more of a cradle when Daddy tosses the ball at me. My fingers are still developing strength and skills. And it will be a while before these cute chubby fingers are ready to bang out "Great Balls of Fire" on the piano.
