E's New Things

It is so much fun to see him do new things. We are working on colors now.

Evan has started to nod "yes".

I remember when I first started explaining and using color as a description I was thinking to myself, "Wow. So much my little guy needs to know". I didn't want to overwhelm him as he might not even know the name of the object let alone the color of it. It is so much fun now because he know the name of so many objects that if I say, "an orange balloon" I know he understand that the word "orange" is not the name of the object itself but a description of that object. He is such a little sponge. He amazes me daily with his new understanding or words and concepts.

When E walks, he now will walk with his hands and arms pulled towards his back. I love seeing his small hands and feet do such adult or big people gestures like crossing you legs or folding your hands.

We have a dinner plate for for E. It has separate compartments for items on it. Evan will eat out of each one as I separate the different foods for him. At lunch today I give him one raspberry at a time as he got choked for eating too many at a time. I placed one berry in a compartment and then he would ask me for more right away. So I placed one berry where I had been placing them and another in the larger department. He took the one from the larger compartment and put it with the other one where we always put the berries!

Evan has velcro straps for his shoes. I can ask him to do the straps and he will pull them to close them.

He will go to his highchair when I ask him too and start to get into it ant dinner.
