"Can you do it", I say, with a bit of encouragement to my voice while I show Dani how the light switch is flicked on and off. It's part of our after shower routine. While I dry her off, I keep her preoccupied with the light switch. Last night she surprised me by turning the light off!
Then this morning, while we were eating breakfast, Dani stuck her food filled hand, as usual, over the side of her seat in hopes to lure a dog nearer to her. Normally Bella is there for the taking, but when she wasn't Dani looked to me for help as if to say, "why are the dogs not here". I very simply told her that Bella as not under the table, which of course upon hearing her name, prompted Bella to slink on over. After seeing Bella and hearing me say her name, Dani tried to say it. She did this a few times, except her version of Bella comes out more like "bah-la-la-la".
Just when I feel like she's amazed me more than I though possible, she was standing at the ottoman, rocking her butt around, when she stopped, let go, and simply turned around to face me. She promptly fell, but the point is that she let go and turned around! She was pretty thrilled by my response!
What an amazing little girl!
