TJ, Marnie and kids Amelie and Miguel were over yesterday for a playdate. It was hilarious to see Baz, Hadrien and Amelie playing Cooking School, body-slamming each other on the big bed, and running after each other with the robot hand from Baz's astronaut suit.
Miguel - at a year old - is still too young to participate in the roughhousing, but that hasn't stopped Hadrien from trying to include him. Hadrien's always been nanggigigil with Miguel, and there was more proof of that yesterday. I wish I could have caught it on video, but if it were a screenplay it would read like this:
SCENE: INTERIOR (Baz and Hadrien's room)
Hadrien and Miguel are standing next to each other. Hadrien turns to Miguel with his gigil face, and Hadrien's hand reaches up to pat Miguel on the head.
B&H DADDY: "Wait, wait, wait ... what are you about to do to Miguel?"
HADRIEN (turns to Daddy with a look of surprise, at the same time immediately pulling his hand back): "Nothing ... I just talking to him."
B&H DADDY: "Huh? Why were you using your hand? Do you use your hand to talk to Miguel?"
HADRIEN (while making talking motions with his left hand, and in a high pitched voice): "Hewwo Miguel...".
The last time this happened, I caught Hadrien about to tap Miguel on the head with his frying pan. When I asked him what he was doing, Hadrien goes, "Nothing ... I'm hugging him!" Then he hugs Miguel.
If Miguel could talk, I'm sure he'd say, "Yeah, right!" As it is, smart Miguel has taken to looking askance at Hadrien, probably making sure they're never in the same room alone with each other. No worries, Miguel! Hadrien just wants to show how much he loves you, and what better way than with a gigil move? But you're right to watch your back (and your head).

Miguel can take comfort in the fact that Amelie scared off Hadrien during their wrestle match.
Baz and Amelie, being both 2 years (or so) ahead of Hadrien, were much bigger than Hadrien. That did not stop Hadrien from joining in.... until he got more than what he bargained for. After getting pushed and pinned to the bed, he tries to give as good as he got. Then, Hadrien pleaded with Raffy "I don't wike na!!!!"... That's my boy - he fights back but knows when to run away and ask for help :)
"...HADRIEN (while making talking motions with his left hand, and in a high pitched voice): 'Hewwo Miguel...'. "
awww, that is so precious! such a quick thinker...can't get hadrien on circumstantial evidence :P
