I have been reading a book on infant development and moral philosophy, and found it interesting that one of the early signs of complex thought in children is the ability to recognize pictures of things as representations of things in the real world.
Last night while we were reading "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" Jameson turned the page from the yellow duck to the purple cat. When he saw the cat, he slapped the page and squealed "Ki-Cat!"
I'm not sure if he just figured out that the picture is a cat, or if he just decided to tell me last night, but either way it was very cute. He didn't get the connection with the white dog on the next page, probably because he hears dogs much more often than he sees them. To him a dog is a "Woo-Woo-Woo".
