Beeps and Hugs
14th May 2010
Our family knows this story well. It all goes back a few months ago, to when Grandma Gilligan started by touching Fi’s nose with her fingertip and “beeping” as she touched her nose. Pretty soon, Amy and I were doing the same. Fi was always amused. One morning, Grandpa Gilligan was sitting at the kitchen counter reading the newspaper, and Fi joined him in his breakfast routine.
With Fiona sitting on the counter in front of him, Grandpa G touched Fi’s nose, made the beep sound, and repeated the process a few times. After a few beeps, he held his finger a few inches away from Fi’s nose, and then she did the unexpected. She leaned her nose into his finger so he would beep again. Much to Fi’s satisfaction, Grandpa G beeped and Fi’s smile was a mile wide.
We’ve been trying to get it on camera ever since. This week, we finally did.
