For those of you that don't know, Mallory's daddy graduated from College with a Mathematics major and is one of those crazy people who actually enjoys math. To me, this is a concept that I just cannot grasp. Regardless, I was not surprised when we were shopping at Ikea, and he suggested that we bring home an Abacus for Mallory. To my surprise and to his enjoyment, Mallory loves her Abacus and often points at it and squeals until we bring it down to her level to play with.
The other toy that has caught her eye lately, is the wooden frog that rolls on the floor when you pull it on a string. As it rolls, it's legs move up and down causing it to hop. I got her this present for Christmas and she showed absolutely no interest in it until last week. I think the reason that she has suddenly showed so much interest in this toy, is because she has become extremely proficient in her walking skills to the point that she prefers running to walking. Because of this new found coordination she is able to pull the frog as she walk across the room which of course is just wonderful and makes the toy that much better.
