The pairs of feet.
"Good job, well done! I'm so proud of you".The "good job, well done"phrase is an insider-joke between Bren & I.
It started with the movie Hancock where Hancock was counselled by his public image consultant to ocassionally give praise to people even though they may not meet his expectations. Hancock was an angry man who had little patience with common people since he was a super-powered man. He was egoistic to the extend of being dismissive of others. Brendan & I used to be over-critical and I joked that we could take a lesson from the Hancock movie. Since then, we've egged each other to give praise to others and recognise that everyone's doing their best with good intentions, no matter how trival the achievement, we ought to let them know we appreciate it. We also tell each other "good job, well done" frequently. Especially after the first weeks of handling the baby, moving house and juggling with work plus selling of the old flat.
The "I'm so proud of you" phrase came later. It is the ending phrase from a baby song and now, our daily catchphrase includes it. =)
Some resorted to standing outside at the doors.
