Hard at work-taking initiative to work right hand

 
 
While reading with Madalyn tonight I put Josephine on my bed with Barney on the TV and the IPAD within her reach. Great mom moment, right?  Anyway, I went to check on her after Madalyn read her two books and this is what I found.  She had opened the program we use every night to work right  hand. 
 
And she was working right hand on her own!  Normally I hold her left hand to entice her to touch with right hand.  Then I press the "next arrow" and we go to the next one.  When I peeked in on her, she was using left hand to press the arrow, but then making right hand do the work...Here is a short video of  my precious baby girl working:) Also notice her love for Barney and Baby Bop when she looks up and exclaims "Bop" midway through the video....    http://youtu.be/xw2bVdlocvc
