analogical thinking
We were riding around in the car this past weekend and Becca was complaining that Ally was so enamored with everything she did. Tricia was attempting to explain that this is because Ally thinks Becca is so cool and someone to look up to. Tricia told Becca, “She thinks you're the cat's meow!”
Becca thought about that for a second, and Ally piped up with, “You're the dog's woof!”
Hooray! My child is thinking analogically! This feels like a big step. We compliment Ally on her observation.
To which Ally responds, “You're the pooping dog's poop!”
OK, still thinking analogically, but...
