Not So Fine Motor Skills

For the last couple of months Harrison has been pointing to his mouth whenever we ask, "Where's your nose?" At first we tried to ameliorate the problem by instead asking, "Where are your lips [teeth/gums/mandible]?" Then, amazingly, he managed to get the answer right every time.

Now, however, he points to the right side of his head whenever we ask him about his nose. The thing is, if we ask him, "Where's daddy's/mommy's nose?" he gets it right, so he knows what a nose is.

I think we may have figured out the problem yesterday at dinner when he poked himself in the left eye with a spoon and then reacted by grabbing the right side of his head.
