Wednesday Aug 21 - Daniel

S~ Apple slices, dry cheerios, filtered water
L~ Annie's organic mac and cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, milk


Today Daniel had the place to himself. He played with many things this morning and then we took a walk over by the gazebo. There is construction going on across from Walgreen's and we walked over but couldn't get a very good view of the excavator. We did see lots of cars and trucks and even a few tractor trailers. Brian and Toby walked along with us.

We sang many songs together: Itsy Bitsy Spider (several times) ABC's, Tommy Thumb, The Arms Go Up The Arms go down, and several others. He finally started telling me "no" when I tried a few other songs- he let me know he had enough of my singing lol

Daniel picked up a baby doll today, and I started labeling eyes, nose, mouth etc. He didn't repeat me but when I was done, he got the doll and started labeling eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and added some that I had not said such as arms and head :-)

When we got back, Daniel climbed on the stumps, crossed from one to another and then climbed off again. He had a blast practicing this and he repeated the sequence four times. I love watching them practice a new skill- they really focus and show great determination and persistence! :-)


Daniel with the legos



Blocks and bells

Tool kit

Xylophone


Ball drop


He was very excited as he pressed them down all at once

Daniel climbs onto the stump

He crosses over to the next stump


Daniel reaches up for the tree branch- like he sees the oldest kids do

He lowers himself to sit

And from his seated position he climbs off

Daniel was very pleased with his abilities!

A few minutes later, he climbed again


He repeated his stump-climbing and crossing 4x before we went in to lunch
