Fingers Crossed

This is how Preston walked around the house all day yesterday.  Since the little guy doesn't speak much more than gibberish right now, I've been trying to figure out what it means.  What could have a 1 1/2 year old walking around the house all day with his fingers crossed?  Here are my top ten theories for this new unusual phenomenon.  

10.  Wishing we could go see the Christmas lights again when he's not throwing a fit.
9. Hoping Santa brings him something really great since no one seems to understand Prestoneeze.
8.  Hoping Dylan doesn't get mad at him for eating most of the gingerbread train.
7.  Hoping mom leaves the pantry door open again so he can help himself to treats, garbage can digging, or swiffering to his heart's content.
6.  Fingers crossed that mom doesn't remember to unplug the TV so he can turn it right back on every time she walks away.
5.  Hoping mom is too busy shoveling the icy driveway to notice as he pulls everything out of the garage.  
4.  Hoping mom and dad continue to think he must be sick or needing something every time he wakes up.  (Suckers!)
3.  Crossing his fingers that Dylan continues to take the fall for everything that goes wrong while the quiet toddler silently slips under the parent radar.
2.  Hoping mom doesn't notice the broken ornaments on the ground that he used for baseball practice.
1.  Hoping he doesn't break an arm or leg jumping out of the crib (his new favorite trick).

Well whatever it was, it sure was cute to watch his tiny fingers crossed for most of the day.
