Juggling

Chris has a friend who juggles. He came to visit us in September and in his short stay has so impressed Eva with it, that she would walk around for the next week, holding balls in her hands and pretending to juggle. When we saw this guy again over Thanksgiving he was pleased to hear that he was able to so mold her young mind and juggled again, this time with some toy horses from Chris' old Playmobile set. Eva was of course impressed and tried to do the same, with the end result of horses being thrown all over the room. We laughed because it was really funny to see her imitate somebody. And Eva, get this, she did not laugh along or enjoy the attention - she got all embarrased and cried. I am not sure what to make of this - I guess she is growing up, but, I cannot begin to imagine why she would cry when people clearly enjoyed what she did. Did she really know that we were laughing at her, not with her? I would have to go with 'yes' on that one...
