The first of many fun games with Aunt Anna

"The last visit to my family didn't allow for a lot of bonding time with my sister (she had to study for her med school exams), so Christmas allowed us to spend some quality time -- just the 2.5 of us.

The best part of that time was the new game Anna played with Bucky: find the foot. Quite simple really, where is Bucky's foot now, and what is it doing? Since Bucky is head down, we pretty much know the feet and legs are located under (or on) my right lung, but the fun part of the game was to see if she could get Bucky to react to her pressing in that general area.

Anna: Press, press, pause with hand on belly.

Bucky: Kick, kick, kick. Sometimes a big round-house leg sweep, even!

Sometimes Bucky would start the game, poking his/her little foot out until Anna would pat it and push it back in.

What a fun game! I just sat back and let myself be prodded because I loved having my sister play with Bucky. It means a lot to me to have her so interested and involved in this little one, even before he/she's here with us in the outside world."
