What do you see?

Who knew this could be such a challenge? Touch the tips of your thumb and pointer finger together as if you're making the "A-OK" sign. If you do it with both hands and then try and look through the circles you've created, you can pretend you're using binoculars.

Unless you're Sydney.

"Help, Mommy. Make 'ocu-wars," is her newest command. She just hasn't developed the motor skills yet to make those circles. Short fingers don't help either.

Maybe the folks at Nickelodeon are aware of this. I've wondered why Diego always tells kids to put their hands together to form a "spotting scope", rather than have them make a more familiar item like binoculars.
I'm guessing it won't take long for Sydney to master this newest skill. She clearly is frustrated that she can't do it herself. It's about time she put that stubborn will of hers to constructive use.
