We've been teaching Oda Mae the different parts of her body. We'll ask her stuff like: Where is your head? Where is your tummy?, and she'll show us where it is. That kind of stuff. The other day we were in the car going somewhere and we were stopped at a red light. Oda was getting kind of tired and a little cranky so I decided to play our little game with her while I was setting there. So I asked her where her head, tummy, ears, and tongue were. She's really good at all of these already so I decided to try a new one. I asked her where her feet where and I grabbed her feet and told her "here are your feet." She laughed and giggled. After a couple of times doing that I asked her "Where are your feet?" and she reached down and grabbed her feet. Now she's got it. All this just sitting at a red light. Just amazing!
Yesterday, we also started learning how to use our fork and spoon at dinner time. She did really good for a first timer. I helped her with her spoon a few times and she started to get it after a while. The fork was a little more tricky. We have to make sure that we "stab" the meat and not Daddy's hand. I think she'll get the hang of it pretty soon.
So, yes, it's really amazing to me how much she learns and how fast she is able to learn it. I am positive that she can learn more than I could possibly teach her in a day. Daddy's just trying to stay a head of the game.

You might have fun exposing her to a lot of learning-ish songs that involve hand motions / dance moves. A kid can learn a lot when it's not passive. That may be why learning 'feet' was so easy. She knew to grab 'em.
(Oh, BTW, if we ever came to the Ft. Worth Zoo, would you and the kid meet us there? We're seriously thinking of doing it this summer.)
Zoo time! I love zoo time - just let me know when and I will be there! Jimmy Please let me go to the zoo with ya'll!!
Luv Sis
