Tricks
Every day is a new adventure in toddler-hood. Chiara is full of tricks, from repeating every word one says to climbing out of her crib. (Fortunately, she hasn’t tried this new trick without mommy standing near enough to catch her!) Just before nap-time today, I asked Chiara to pick a book to read. She took her little baby doll over to the book shelf and talked to the baby doll, asking her to get the book (I am assuming…her quiet babbling to the doll was a little challenging to understand). Then, she took the doll’s arm and reached it up next to the book spines, showing her how to pick a book, yet without actually retrieving one. Once again, she guided the doll’s arm to the spine of a book and pulled it down (courtesy of help from Chiara). So cute to see her teaching her little doll. (Not to mention pretty smart…her antics got her one extra book for the doll, prolonging the time before nap!) One just hopes she is as helpful when real people are involved!
