Playing Flashlight, and other things

Quinn loves to play with the small collection of flashlights that I appear to have accumulated by the side of the bed. We turn off the light, lay on the bed and shine the flashlights all around. We trade. We turn them on and off. Bec comes in and we all have one. We shine them on our toes. We shine them in our mouths. We shine them on our hands. It's become a daily ritual of sorts recently.

Quinn's very interactive at playing many things now. We play trains, cars, walking sticks, kitchen, blocks, rings, music, ball, flying-tackles and flop. Flop was a little nerve-wracking there for awhile - he'd just suddenly fall backwards, assuming we'd catch him, and you really had to be ready. Eventually we began to identify the stationary wobbling that preceded it and began to coach it out of him. No harm done.

He's a lot of fun to play with now. What a great age.
