Gorilla boy

When I took Keegan's shirt off for bath, he immediately began to triumphantly pound his chest.  It made me laugh so hard, and of course, he was quite smitten with the fact that he had amused me.  He did not come up with this manly act himself, yet was mimicking a gesture from the book From Head to Toe by Eric Carle, in which a different animal acts out a movement for each body part.  His favorites are the crocodile wiggling his hips--Keegan shakes his whole body and says, "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle", which sounds more like "weeoo, weeoo, weeoo"--the gorilla pounding his chest, of course, and the donkey kicking his legs.   My little gorilla boy, how you make me laugh!
