Books and "IN"

Each day it seems Kayla figures out something new! It is so fun to see her develop.

The other night I quoted a line from one of the books we read to Kayla somewhat often, and she went right over to her book box, picked out that particular book, and brought it to her dad! I thought it might be a coincidence, so we repeated the routine with about 5 or 6 other books (I couldn't remember lines out of any more!) Kayla went over all by herself and chose the correct book without hesitation every time!

Little did we know she actually has been listening when we read the books!

Kayla also really enjoys putting things "IN." So, when I am missing something I know where to look - she has "favorites" including the china cabinet, an empty wipes box, the drawer at the bottom of the oven, or the trash can... Kayla's favorite part of a diaper change is when she gets to put the diaper "IN" the trash.

Recently, I found Kayla in the Kitchen playing in an "off-limits" cupboard. She had discovered some straws and an old baby bottle and decided it was a lot of fun to stick the straws "IN" the bottle one by one!

This morning we were singing "head and shoulders... eyes and ears and mouth and nose." She lingered on the "nose" part, picked a surprise out of hers, then she walked over to the trash to put it "IN!" What a "little booger!"
