I've mentioned before about Alex crossing his fingers
when he's anxious. He's crosses his fingers at
the doctor's office....
Or when the morning routine is different before school,
like a 2 hour delay or if we're ready a bit early and
have to wait a few minutes before leaving....
But sometimes he crosses them for luck, as in this case...
When he's hoping I'll say that he can have seconds
on pizza! He even closed his eyes as if in prayer
that more pizza would appear on his favorite
blue plastic plate. ha.
And in this case, it was double fingers crossed...
for double luck! :)
♥
thats a good idea, I used to do that too, maybe its time to start again! did it work for more pizza?
ReplyDeleteof course it did! haha...how could I refuse? lol...
DeleteI was hoping he got more. :)
Deletehaha...oh, I'm an old softie most of the time! :)
Deletesmiles...gotta keep them crossed so you dont get the cheese touch as well..smiles...
ReplyDeletehey if crossing your fingers works...smiles...
the cheese touch?
DeleteIf only all worked like that
ReplyDeleteI'd sure be a finger crossing Pat
Knows how to get his way
Double fingers right on display
I'd join you
Deletein the finger crossing, too!
Just think of all we could wish for!
We'd have finger crossing galore!
aaah he is so cute! I crossing fingers sometimes too:) for luck!
ReplyDeleteHe really does some cute things. Aw. :)
DeleteYes I find he cute, hehe:) love him!
DeleteHe's the only triplet that will eat my cooking, so it is fun with him!
DeleteGood taste :)
DeleteThis is such a cute story about how to get extra pizza. And how could anyone resist giving it to him. I love how you notice all of their different quirks and habits. It is fun reading about them too. Children are such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm sure it has to do with them being non-verbal. I have to read body language a lot of time to get a picture of what's going on. They ask for things...food, a toy, dvd, help with something, but to convey emotion or if they are sick or worried, they don't know how to do that so well. But Alex is very consistent with the finger crossing for being anxious or worried. In this case..worried he wouldn't get more pizza. lol....
DeleteIt's the little things that make you smile, eh Betsy?
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for being such an attentive Mom...
I am glad you enjoyed the Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake....ours is gone!! haha!
Perhaps it is time for an Apple Pie Bread......yum!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
The Mister commented on how good it was. There's enough for dessert tomorrow...that is if I can keep out of it until then. lol....
DeleteI used to do that too. I used to also pinch myself when I had to ask my grandpa a question, like when I wanted that old antique clock in the attic. I thought if the pinch already hurt, it wouldn't hurt so much when he yelled at no to me! hahahahaha. I did get the old clock though, when I got older. My Grandpa always said 'no' first to anything asked. hahahahaha
ReplyDeletehaha...well, I'm glad you got the clock anyway! ha.
DeleteYou know, I still secretly cross my fingers when I am sitting in the dentist chair. I makes me feel better too somehow.
ReplyDeletehaha...do you? That is so funny and cute. I just grip the living daylights out of the arm rests!
DeleteI like how Linda put it,"Kudos to you for being such an attentive Mom...I
ReplyDeleteI love how you parent. The love oozes out.
aw, thanks :) But who wouldn't be moved by those little things?
DeleteTimes Three!
DeleteHope he did get lots of pizza! Yay! take care
ReplyDeletex
He certainly loves food...and pizza is one of his favorites! :)
DeleteSo sweet! And I too am glad he got more pizza. You are a wonderful mom!
ReplyDeleteI try....really, I do! lol....
DeleteHaha, very sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cute that he crosses his fingers when he is anxious, too, as if it will bring good luck to make the bad thing go away. Maybe I should get my son to do that!
whatever works, right? :) I may try it myself!
DeleteThat's a cute story about Alex, reminding me of the little things we all do to make us feel better in difficult situations.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute. I remember hopping up and down on one foot when I was hoping my mom would say yes about something. I don't know why I did that, but it apparently made me feel like it increased my chances. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope he was able to conjour up seconds on pizza! And that's a pretty safe way for him to express his anxiety. Such a cute Story!
ReplyDeleteIt suddenly occurred to me I should cross my fingers a bit more often. It might help... Hope you're doing fine, Betsy :)
ReplyDeleteAh, did it work? I might try it.
