Soren has a few tricks that are endlessly amusing to me, even if he doesn't know what he is doing. I don't want to forget what a clever boy he is, so I thought I should make a post about his clever little tricks. Maybe later I will try to get a video of some of them.
1. When I sing "If You're Happy and You Know It", he claps his hands. Sometimes he even does it at the appropriate pause in the song!
2. When I say, "high five!" and show him my palm, he gives me a (weak) high five.
3. When someone offers their cheek (and sometimes even their lips), Soren gives them a kiss. It's more like a face bump but I think it's really cute and relatives go wild about it.
4. This is a bran-new trick: When I sing "When We're Helping, We're Happy" Soren will put his legos away. I've been working on teaching him to help clean up for ... oh, probably six months now. And Scott's been making terrible fun of me but it is finally paying off! Of course, he thinks it's just a game, chucking the legos in the basket, and he wants to pull them right out again after the song is over but let's take this one step at a time.
5. When we pull his fake snakes out of the coffee table drawers, Soren goes "ssssssssss".
Isn't he the cleverest baby in the world?
