Ro <pointing to my face>: Daddy, blue Oh’s!

<pause, me looking confused>

Ro <still pointing to my face>: blue circles!!

Me: Ah, you mean I have blue eyes!

Ro <now desperate>: blue Oh’s, Ohhhh’s !!!

Then it dawned on me that the blue eyes are in fact round like the letter O that we’ve just learned and played with the day before. So he saw the new letter right in my eyes! I just had to hug him for this one – so cute!

When you want Ro to move into a certain direction, the best way to instruct him is to tell him: “I’ll follow you” and then to tell him, where you’re going to follow him to. Works perfectly. He loves to lead!
