Transferring his knowledge!

As a teacher, I'm always talking about the importance of kids transferring their knowledge from one application to the next. Well, as I was telling a story about Sage in the teacher's lounge today, I realized Sage is already transferring his knowledge! I'm so proud. =)

For Christmas, Sage recieved a musical table. It has a keyboard, banjo, trombone, drums, and much more that he can use his hands (or feet) to make music. Well, since he's not standing yet, we took the legs off of the table. Usually, I put Sage in my lap and hold the toy in front of him so he can use his feet to hit the keyboard and other musical things. He loves it!



Well, in his crib, Sage has a rainforest musical thingy that plays soft music and gently glows to help soothe babies back to sleep. It's a lifesaver because Sage will lay there enchanted by this thing for long periods of time. The problem has been that it turns off after 7 or 8 minutes. To get it back on, you just have to press a button on the front of the thing. Usually, I have to do this for him.


Well, last night, Jared came into the bedroom after checking on Sage and asked, "Did you turn on that rainforest thing?" I said, "No." Jared asked, "Did you turn him sideways in the crib?" Of course not. Apparently Sage had turned himself sideways so that his feet could reach the rainforest thingy. He had used his feet to turn it on! So smart!
