New Tricks

Asa has tricks.



He has had tricks for a long time but we have always prompted the trick with a signal or by helping him. For example, I would say "Asa, let's put on your socks". I lift his legs up and he holds them while I put on socks.

But for some reason, I decided this week to not prompt him with motions or by leading him in the action. And you know what? He understands a lot! I guess he is a chip off the old block.

This is what he does with NO prompting or leading...
  • Blowing kisses
  • I say "Let's go night-night" and he runs to his room
  • I say "GO TO TIMEOUT" and he slowly walks to time out
  • Gives hugs and wet kisses
  • I yell "FINGER BOMB" and Ace gets his finger ready for the explosion
  • He heard Patty Cake on a toy and started doing the motions (clapping & rolling it in a pan)
  • Ask him where is tummy/head is and he pats them.
  • When asked what a cow says? He responds with a "MMMMMMM"
  • He will hear or see a dog and say "DAW"
  • I asked him this morning "Do you want to eat?" He left his toy and sat by the door of his room waiting to go eat.

Yall are such great parents, doing such fun, neat things with Asa.... I just loved the part where he figured that he could use the saline nose drops on Dad and follow by suctioning with the bulb syringe. Now that would be a GREAT trick! But, seriously, he is a super smart, handsome young man, and we all love him very much!!!
