1. Playing Basketball. He LOVES his hoop at home. He can make baskets standing a few feet away from the hoop with the hoop bring a few inches higher than his head. Honestly it is really amazing how skilled he is for his age when it comes to sports. One thing I love about it is that he d
oesn't get frustrated when he can't make it. He just keeps trying. He also asks us to move the hoop up to make it more challenging.
2. Climbing at the playground. At the little playground in our neighborhood Pennington will climb up the stairs, crawl through the tunnel, walk across the bridge, and go down the slide all by himself over and over again.
3. Running and jumping. He loves running around in circles at home as well as jumping up and down in his crib. There is a mini trampoline at school that he gets to jump on so I think he things his crib is like a trampoline.
Pennington is starting to improve in the fine motor skills area. Below are some things he has been working on.
1. He likes stacking blocks on top of each other. The other day he stacked 9 two inch blocks on top of each other without them falling.
2. He loves baking. Over the last month he has helped to make cookies, cakes, breads, pancakes, ect. His favorite is getting to stir and "crack crack" the egg. Below is a picture of Pennington baking. Or should I say tasting what he was baking.
Pennington still isn't talking very much. Right now when he wants something and you ask him if that is what he wants he gets really excited and says "YEAH". One really interesting thing about Pennington is that he pretty much never says "No". Sometimes he sakes his head no but hardly ever. Even though I wish he would say no sometimes when I am trying to figure out what it is that he wants I love the fact that it isn't the main word in his vocabulary right now.
Over the next two months Pennington has a busy schedule. We ask switching school to Tuesday and Friday so he can do Soccer Tots on Thursdays. Below is his schedule for the next two months.
Monday: K'tamin
Tuesday: School
Wednesday: The Little Gym
Thursday: Soccer Tots
Friday: School
