Although Eleanor still isn't a big talker, it is amazing how much she knows and remembers. A few nights ago Brian was reading one of her favorite books to Eleanor - Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin. It's such a cute book. Anyway, without being prompted by Brian, she started saying, "no" right when she should in the story. It was so cute! I also managed to teach her where her knees were after just a few times of saying, "knees" and pointing to her cute little knees. Toddlers are so fun!
The other skill we're working on right now is getting Eleanor to feed herself with a spoon. She did pretty well on her first night, and even better tonight with her applesauce. Her first go at mastering the spoon included a big bowl of yogurt. So messy but so fun. I'm sure the she ended up wearing at least 50% of it, but she didn't neglect the yogurt on her bib. She promptly sucked it off of her bib after the yogurt in her bowl was "gaw gone."
