My grandson has recently discovered pinching so it must be a gene thing. As for gemas, I tell him all the time he is so cute I could eat him up. He thinks it is hilarious. <br />Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-3123957730208176602017-04-09T02:00:34.333+05:302017-04-09T02:00:34.333+05:30Our whole family behaves gigil around our cats.
