The count has a range of emotions as all kids do, but they are typically subject to wide interpretation. For example, a scream can mean "I'm HAPPY!" or it can mean "I'm TICKED!". Spontaneously shouting "Dada!" can mean "Dad's Here" or it can mean "Look, There's a Puppy!"
I have long since given up trying to judge what the kid says.
One thing however that has remained consistent is the clap. The clap means I'm EXCITED about whatever it is I see - period.
I walked in the living room last night to see my kid start clapping. I was getting rather emotional until I saw what he was clapping at. It was obviously not me, but rather the kid was staring at the television and a commercial for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Lights, Glitter, and Boobies. What isn't there to get excited about? I was so proud of him.
So tonight we're both going to sit on the floor and watch the Vicky's Secret show and clap at the TV!

Hmm...seems that your boy and my Jamey and Stephen were all enjoying the same activities last night...I think Stephen was having flashbacks to the days of nursing along a a feeling of something much better to come his way one day...Jamey just enjoyed it .
