Yahoo times two, for two feet! That’s so awesome, Nik!

It’s especially awesome because he fights against using both hands simultaneously. Whenever we tell him to “use both hands” he switches hands instead of adding the second one to the task.

Today, I merely said, “Put your socks on”…and he did!

Crossing the midline, using both hands, orienting the socks in the right direction-so much, and done so well!

Yahoo!

I love how he hums when he’s getting into something-reminds me of my Buddy Boy (and me, come to think of it).

Awesome! Yep- he’s ahead of my 8 year old too. Although, my 8 year old is also just plain lazy.
