As Zachary grows into his toddler size, his memory skills are also sharpening well. Before you look for anything that Zachary might have misplaced for you, ask him first. This will save you lots of time since he has really creative places to hide things now. Amazingly he understands the word for most objects to which he has access. So he will most likely remember the ones who are extra nice to him and give him what he wants.
We just realized that Zachary not only knows his basic body parts by Chinese words, but he also knows the equivelant English words to the body parts. We found out this last night when I said to Chris, “I want to clean Zachary’s nose, I can see something in his nose.” Then Zachary put his finger in his nose to try to clean it himself. We then asked him to point to his eyes, ears, hair, feet, hand, and mouth. He knows them all. But I have been trying to get him to learn colors and somehow he is not showing any progress yet.
