Last evening Theo was sitting on my lap as I was working on my computer in my office. He saw a small bug flying around so he hopped down and followed its flight for a bit.Unfortunately he quickly lost it, so I decided to help him. I tried smashing the bug with my two hands. The clapping sure got Theo's attention. He looked at me wide eyed- probably the longest he has ever looked directly at me. It was if he was a blank slate and the thought of swatting at the bug was brand new but something he was trying to figure out how to add to his arsenal.
The bug got away but we'll see if Theo, ever the student, has a different approach next time.
