Coordination Tests

My neighbor was telling me about her toddler Allison. She took Allison to the doctor for her checkup. As part of the 2-year check, they had her do coordination tests. Things like stacking blocks, moving toys around, etc. While the children do the tasks, they are watched to see if they walk properly, also. Allison was performing her tasks admirably, when the doctor said, "Allison, can you stand on one foot for me?'" So Allison walked over and stood on his foot!
