"Head, shoulders, knees, and toes..."

The song goes a little differently at our house, but Ethan is definitely learning his body parts! It is so cute and we love asking him to point things out! It goes a little something like this:

Ethan, where's your ears? He will tug at one of his ears.

Ethan, where's your eyes? He will blink his eyes or squint them and point at his eyes.

Ethan, where's your mouth? He opens his mouth and sticks his finger in the middle.

Ethan, where's your belly? He lifts his shirt up and pats or rubs his belly.

Ethan, where's your hands? He rubs his hands together like he's dusting them off (he does this when he falls down on his hands or is cleaning up too :)

Ethan, where's your feet? He will lift his feet up or reach down to tickle his toes.

And our favorite... Ethan, where's your nose? He would usually reach out for our nose instead, and we always say "honk-honk!" as he pinches our nose. Just today he started grabbing his own nose and making a "hmmm-hmmm" sound as he pinches his nose, or he grabs our hand and reaches it toward his nose, and makes his sound when we pinch. Love it!

He has also learned to smell... he loves to smell candles, and wrinkles his nose up and sniffs. He is starting to learn to blow... he loves bubbles, and we are working on him blowing them himself. He puffs out a little blow, but isn't quite blowing the bubbles yet :)
