Ever Smarter

Just a short little story to share. :)

This morning I was reading to Caiden on the couch. Our usual routine if for him to bring me a book, we read it, and then he goes and gets another book to read. Lather, rinse, repeat. :)

So today we're doing our usual, and he goes and picks out The Cat in the Hat. On the way back to the couch, he got distracted by something and set the book down. After a few minutes, he decided he wanted to go back to reading but forgot where he left the book. He turned to me and signed where book? I asked him which book he wanted and he signed back book followed by hat for The Cat in the Hat. That was the first time I'd seen him sign something more complicated like that completely on his own! Clever little boy we've got there.

In other news, he is also really starting to work on expanding his spoken vocabulary. He is working really hard on repeating words we say without any prompting. Altho, he is still being a little stinker about saying mama. We'll be on a roll of repeating words and I'll toss in mama. He promptly replies with dada. :P

I love that story! It fits so nicely with my child psych class right now. I am going to say that Caiden is overextended the word "Dada" to mean either of his parents.

On the other hand - little kids are super smart and maybe you have yourself a little smartass :-)
