Have you tried to teach Ona to watch you transfer a small object back and forth from hand to hand then close your hands and have her tell you which hand it's in?Toddlers are the best…

I have not! That is a good idea though! I will have to give that a try. I'll have to find an object that can't be confused with our color training. And probably first teach her to to just touch the hand the object is in with my hands open. Then transfer it and touch. Then closed hands.

Also - do you see how she look at me when I say "are you ready?" That is her "understanding" look. A particular tilt of the head, something in the eyes that just says "I am learning, I am listening." I LOVE that look.
Oh yeah, I have to ask Lovejoy "are you ready for your scratches" before i try to give him snuggles. It's all very much on their terms and in their time, isn't it? And I love that it is

What does she wipe her beak on afterward? Rocky wipes hers on hard surfaces. She hasn't figured out it works better to wipe on fabric.You mean Ona is ok with sharing her banana with you!!
