If you're happy and you know it ...

...Touch your nose!

Those are the words that led to me realising how much Rebecca is taking in.

I have known for ages Rebecca can understand what we try to communicate on a very basic level, but had thought it was all down to tone and facial expression, with just a couple of words (Yes, No) being understood.

On Friday last Mummy was having a singsong with Rebecca to an MP3 of the classic of the toddler dance floors - "If you're happy and you know it". It's always great to see Rebecca moving to the music and loving every second of it, so I stalled in the background and watched. When it got to the point of "...touch your nose" Mummy said "You touch your nose" a could of times and - WOAH! - Rebecca put her hand up and touched her nose. And she did it again the next verse too.

Did I mention my daughter is amazing?

  1. Our 1-year old finally got nose, right after "belly button". It is a blast because she will lift her shirt up to point at it. If she is wearing a onesie or something that won't pull up, she gets all confused!

    Saw you listed on the "Free Blog Registry" - good luck!

  2. Hello David. Thanks for the comment. The closest we have is tummy. I must start giving belly-button a try and see if she picks it up.
