Push it down the stairs...

Did you ever have a slinky? I'm talking about the rainbow coloured kind, not the one that forms the body of a dog (Toy Story).

Well I happened to find one in the supermarket here and added it into the rewards that Isobel gets when she completes a task or imitates a word correctly. They are just a selection of cheap, fun toys/things that she sees as a real treat when she does well.

By far and away the slinky is her favourite. That is after she had seen how it works. The first hurdle of course was living in an apartment we have no stairs, so we had to venture out into the corridor the find the perfect platform for the slinky.

Now the reason for my long winded introduction. We have had Isobel's first 5 word phrase. 'Push it down the stairs.' It started with 'push it..., push it...' every time she tipped it off the edge of the step. Now we get some version of the whole phrase with each step the slinky is pushed down.

Slinky! Everyones favourite toy.
