My almost 18 month old daughter has this spinning wand toy. It is pink, and you press a button and it lights up and spins and is pretty neat. Well, the top has a big star that lights up, and also on the portion that spins, there are 3 stars.
Tonight we were watching a movie ( Nim's Island if your interested, good movie, really cute. We rented it because Abigail Breslin is in it. Our daughter is named after her character in the movie Signs ) and she was playing with her wand. sitting in between my husband & I. I look over at her, she stop it spinning, grabs one of the spinning stars, and says "Star!" I stared for a second...unsure of what I heard....as if on cue...she said it 5 or 6 more times. Enough for me to confirm what I had heard and my husband to also hear it.
Now, for months she has been a little repeat machine. She will repeat almost anything. She knows what most of the "animals say", and is happy to tell you if you ask. She also has been known to pop off with a random unexpected word too....
The impressive part was not that she said star for the first time...but that she recognized a star, without any prompting, and honestly, I had not even mentioned the word for at least a day.
My child amazes and impresses me daily.
WOW.
