Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Lately, I've been teaching B the names of the parts of his head. He has learned to point to his hair, nose, eyes and mouth when asked. He especially loves pointing to his eyes and then trying to poke out my eyeballs...at that point he giggles hysterically and then tries all over again. The kid has a mean streak.

Tonight the four of us ate dinner together and I was showing Papa Bear B's new skill of identifying his different facial features. When asked to show where his eyes are, B fluttered his eyes and then smiled a huge, proud smile. P.B. was thrilled. When asked where his nose was located, B pointed to it with his food-covered index finger. When asked where his mouth was, B picked up his fork and put his food in his mouth. I started to ask B to show P.B. where his hair was when the much wiser-than-mama parental figure indicated that filthy hands and hair were not a good combination.
