Sometimes, Ryder says things to us like, “You have to be mad.” It’s become sort of a game that we happily play with him – he tells us an emotion that we should display on our faces, and we do our best to oblige him. After he’s satisfied that we’ve nailed it, we get the next emotion. Sometimes, Caitlin and I are the ones who name the emotions and Ryder is the one who does the acting out.
The picture below is one time where Caitlin told him “You have to be surprised.” You can see, he really nailed it.
