One of my new favorite things is watching Eli replicate a behavior Lehr or I have taught him. This covers anything from signing, to sitting down when he wants a glass of water or when he needs his shoes taken off or put on, to knocking on doors. The latest is Eli's ability to keep his bowl steady when he eats with a spoon or fork. A few weeks ago Lehr started showing Eli how to hold the edge of his bowl with the opposite hand while he digs into his food with his spoon/fork hand (it differs each day). I love to see Eli grab the edge of his bowl before he dives into his oatmeal each morning...proof that he is paying attention some of the time when we try to teach him things!
