Just yesterday, I started singing “clap, clap, clap your hands, clap your hands together…” and what did this sweet gal do? She started smiling and clapping. Wondering if the response was reproducible, I paused and giggled with her, then when she’d stopped, I started singing it again…and she started clapping! She gets it! It’s so cute!!
It’s one of those a-ha moments for us parents–we talk and yammer away with this trust that babies understand us, but the moment that comprehension manifests, it is always a delightful surprise…!
