Because Mitch is "high energy" when he plays with Clara, throwing her around and such, she gets very excited when he comes anywhere near her. For example, this week I carried her down our hallway to her room for a diaper change just after she and daddy had been playing. We met Mitch coming down the hall, and she immediately started wiggling her body, kicking her legs, squealing, giggling almost uncontrollably, and turning to hide her face and then peeking out to grin at him. She was so overcome with excitement she hardly knew what to do. It was hilarious! We both laughed quite a bit watching her.
Mitch is a really fun dad.
Last night we tried to recreate the scenario because I wanted it on video. We attempted several takes where Clara and I went and stood in the hallway and Mitch came around the corner and 'surprised' us with camera in hand. I think the enclosed space increases the effect. The video below is a compilation of her reactions in each of these. She wasn't quite as excited as she can be, but nonetheless, you get an idea of what I mean.
