Scare Tactics

Everett's latest thing is scaring people.

A few months ago I taught him how to sneak up on someone (namely, Joel) and roar at him as soon as he was in view. Everett thought this was hilarious, and loved to creep along with a "shhh. shhhh. SSHHHH," his little finger to his lips the whole way, until he would bust out a loud yell-growl.

The only thing is that he needed encouragement and assistance in order to be able to perform the scare successfully.

Tonight he did it all by himself, several times, bursting with the hilarity of it each and every time.

He looked so proud of himself.

And I just loved it.
