Mirror self recognition, take one

This is the classic test of self recognition.  You surreptitiously put a sticker on children's heads and let them look in the mirror.  Then you see if they realize the sticker is on their own head. Do they try to take off the sticker? Do they realize the person in the mirror is them?

Well, for Arthur, not yet.

On average children do this around 18 months, so he's still on track.
