The Black Sheep

Lucky for him, being the Black Sheep in this family means being really happy. As you may have noticed, Ruby came out swinging, filled with the conviction that the world must bend to her will. Natasha is filled with indignation, me with existential angst.

And little Lupito is, it appears, filled with laughter. And smiles. For all. When I walk down the street with him in the bjorn looking out, I get nothing but big smiles from the people we pass. They look down at his smiling face, can't help but smile back at him, then, at the very last second, look up and smile at me as they pass.

Yet, even though he is very much the smiley boy, and will smile all day for just about anybody, including Natasha and I, there is one person who can really make him laugh.

Indeed, in addition to being the most interesting person in the world, big sis Ruby is also the funniest person in the world, as evidenced by these short videos. These were from a few days ago, but she got him laughing even harder last night, even when she wasn't trying. He was sitting in the kitchen, and every time she came through he would crack up. Sometimes she'd notice, others she wouldn't. In these videos, though, she is most definitely putting on show for his benefit...
