The child has figured out how to turn on my iPhone. And no, it's not just pushing a talk button and waiting for the dial tone. It's actually quite childproof. There's a little "slide to unlock" feature that you put your finger on and drag the arrow across to unlock the phone.
Safi has figured out how to slide her little finger across the screen to unlock the treasure! She watches in delight as the screen transforms, rewarding her efforts. You've gotta see it to believe it.
My suspicions were further validated by the “conversation” we had the other day. Although Safiyah only says about 5 true words (admittedly average, (gasp) or possibly below-average for her age), I realized a couple days ago that she can distinguish between yes/no and open-ended questions. It went a little something like this:
Me: Safi are you hungry?
Safi: aahh (said in a grunt style that quite possibly means both yes and no)
Me: what do you want to eat?
Safi: blub-blub-blub-yahda-yahda
Me: really? You like that?
Safi: aahh
Me: Safi are you hungry?
Safi: aahh (said in a grunt style that quite possibly means both yes and no)
Me: what do you want to eat?
Safi: blub-blub-blub-yahda-yahda
Me: really? You like that?
Safi: aahh
Me: When's the last time you ate that?
Safi: blah-blub-yahgo-fiya-do
Me: Really?
Safi: aahh
Believe me, this was much more convincing in person
Believe me, this was much more convincing in person
Seeing that we were on a roll, I decided to test out her knowlege of body parts we've been working on. "Nose", I quizzed. "Safi, where's your nose"? "Eye"! she exclaimed, as she dutifuly pointed. . . to. her. ear.
Well, maybe I won't call 20/20 just yet.
