This year as part of my Christmas decorations, I put one large and one miniature nutcracker on the fireplace mantel. Audrey loves them.
When she first saw them she pulled me over to the fireplace and pointed until I understood that she wanted to know what they were. So we sat down together on the chaise and I let her play with one of them at a time. Then when she was done looking at the nutcracker I put it back.
Sitting on the chaise together and playing (gently) with the nutcrackers has become something we do several times a day together. She enjoys this so much that she started actually saying the word cracker (instead of just using her sign for cracker) when she wants to play with them. Grandma got a book to go along with the nutcrackers so now when she is done playing with the actual nutcrackers, she will do the sign for book and read through that for a while.
