positives

Someone once told me not to look back a week, or a month, but look back greater periods of time, so I try to do that.  Sometimes that makes me sad, too, because say, a year ago, at 18 months, Landon was saying dada, now he doesn't really say it much, but that's ok, i guess it is part of the process!!

But what he has learned to do:
-run
-climb up stairs with the railing
-jump
-walk on a balance beam
-assemble any shape sorter
-use a spoon if he wants to
-unvelcro or velcro his shoes
-drink from an open cup
-bite into food
-shake his head no/nod yes
-brush his teeth- not screaming anymore
-identifies colors, numbers, shapes, vocabulary
-follows directions (when he wants to!)
-blow kisses
-wave w/o the Hitler salute he used to do
-has gained a lot of vowels and most consonants
-tries to imitate
-can assemble puzzles well
-follows hand motions to simple songs that he is familiar with
-gained some words
-pairs pointing with approximations now
-use PECs if needed so we know what he wants/need
--SOO close to puckering!!
-tolerates cues to face
-takes turns
-hugs/kisses his friends


Iam sure there is more, but sometimes you need something like this!!
