While we were on vacation at the beach, Allie's cousin, Jules, was able to show us how she could brush her hair. Jennifer is a fantastic mother and teacher. I've always envied how she is able to interact with children with a learning capacity. She doesn't just do the baby talk, there's always something to learn for the baby or child when she opens her mouth. It's also a way for me to change my thinking and interactions with Allie...SO.....I thought - maybe I could teach Allie how to brush her hair. And I totally did! I would never have thought to do this, had Jennifer and Jules not taught me to do so! Here's the end result:
We're also learning how to say "more" in sign language, again, prompted from Jennifer and Jules...but this one is going to take more time! Allie just thinks I'm clapping!Bana sent Allie a box of goodies yesterday, so we broke out one of the toys. It's a little mover and shaker toy and shakes and moves forward when you activate it. It plays a nice little song while it slowly and steadily inches forward. Allie was NOT happy with this toy. It scared her. I haven't figured out why yet, but it was HILARIOUS! I probably tortured Allie a little too much because it was so funny...and had to demonstrate again once Brad got home!
Tee-hee!
hahaha you crack me up Jen! Poor Allie (= Not to worry though because all parents do this at some point. Its funny to see their reaction.
