fun discoveries

He's getting so big! It amazes me how tall he's gotten! He's turning more and more into a big boy every day. We recently got him a happy meal from the Golden Arches as a treat. I let him have the normal cup with a straw instead of his sippy cup to kind of test the waters. Before he's always just dumped it all out. I left him to his own devices to start dinner for the rest of us old folks. I was making dinner when I would randomly just check on him. He was drinking from the cup!!!! he didn't' spill ANY of it!!! He knew that if he tipped it too far it would spill. He also pulled the straw out. Normally he would spill things trying to get it back into the cup. BUT!! Again, no spills! He got the straw back in the hole in the top of the cup easy cheesy! I was VERY proud. Most parents wouldn't think this is such a big deal, but for a child who struggles with his fine motor skills, this is a big accomplishment!!

Speaking of big accomplishments-this week, Stevey was able to put his pants and socks on with just being asked to do so. He didn't require any other direction. This is a big step. He is comprehending and following through! His cognitive skills are doing so well! He's also been a real chatty cathy! Albeit, Mommy is the only one who can understand him alot, but he's trying!!!!!
