Abi trains Daddy

Abi gets applause whenever she puts the sippy cup into the high chair sippy cup holder, rather than throws it onto the floor.   Today, she threw the cup on the floor, and pointed to it (indicating that Daddy who was with her should pick it up).  Daddy put the sippy cup into the holder.  She then clapped her hands, indicating “very good”.  She is starting to train us rather early.

Daddy was with Abi today.  He reports that Abi no longer prefers crawling to walking . . .her preference is to be upright.  She even ran a little bit today.  “We are in so much trouble,” he says.
