All in His Face

On Friday evening, Loquatia, Idril, and Cirdan came over after dinner. Cirdan is a great crawler, so we let him take off on the floor. The next thing I see is Larien and Inwe crawling on the floor with Cirdan. These two girls were circling him, chasing him, coming at him head on. It was so invasive! Poor Cirdan didn't know what to do. He stopped crawling. They stopped crawling. When he would start up again the two girls would give him encouragements, such as, "This way, Cirdan"; "What a good baby"; and "That's the way". After a little while longer of this in-your-face treatment, Cirdan stopped moving altogether. Loquatia and I had to rescue him. Is this what Finwe faces when he crawls? At least I will know that Finwe won't get too close to anything dangerous. The girls will watch him like hawks.
