Springtime Smiles in St. George

Over the past few weeks Felix has discovered a new secret weapon in his bag of tricks -- a completely adorable and utterly disarming smile. It's hard to resist the urge to tickle him, which brings up the curious scientific question: Is the tickling response (laughing) acquired or instinctive?
Unfortunately, the possibility of using Felix as a test subject has been thwarted by his parents, who both apparently have discovered their own deep-seated instinctive urges to unmercifully tickle his tummy, face, arms, and legs just to see that huge smile that starts in his eyes and then spreads from ear to ear in a perfect, toothless, felicitous smile.

That is too cute!!! What fun times when they start to smile and respond. Can't wait to see the smile in real life in a few weeks!
Mr. Marsalis didn't say personally he would be around in the next couple of years but we have heard that he seems to perform here often, so chances are in your favor =] Thanks again for the tickets, it was a great concert.

I posted a comment earlier but I guess it didn't show up! I love that smile-isn't that the best when they start smiling and responding? Can't wait to see his smile in person in a couple of weeks!
Oh and you may be in luck, we heard that Mr. Marsalis plays frequently here so hopefully he'll come again in the next couple years-it was a great concert!
