Stop Making Sense

Sometime in the past I learned (or at least think I learned) that toddlers' difficulty with abstract thought spills over to their spatial relations.  I remember some comical examples of toddlers trying to put huge dolls in tiny chairs or being satisfied with a tiny doll in a huge chair.

I looked around the internet for awhile but could not find a succinct link or video to share.  Instead my search was cluttered by a lot of website telling parents all sorts of games they can do with their kid to develop spatial relations skills.

Regardless, Charlotte is a poster-child for a toddler's inability to compare the sizes of two things before determining if they should go together.  She daily gives Emily or me some of her clothes (or ours) to put on her baby doll or stuffed animal of choice.

However, today's request was beyond ridiculous.

You may have to look closely, but there is a doll-house sized dollhead peaking out of one of Charlotte's shirt. Clearly her abstract spatial reasoning is a work in progress. Well, either that or she is a huge Talking Heads fan.
