Ben is growing so fast. Poor thing has an infant / toddler developmental specialist as a mom. I am always looking at the new skills he is acquiring with a professional lens. Today Eliot brought out one of my instructional toys. I use it a lot with children who have low vision and / or low hearing abilities. It is a toy fish bowl that lights up and plays music when touched. It came with a couple of balls with sea animals inside. Ben is holding a pink ball with a fish in it. Evan tried so hard to "teach" Ben how to put the ball into the bowl and take it out again. He didn't do a bad job. Evan can be a very impulsive child so I was actually very proud of him. Ben was able to drop the ball into the bowl and reach in and get it out again. He did a great job transferring it from one hand to another. He also used both hands to hold the ball and bring it to his mouth. He had a lot of fun. I think his favorite part was just pushing and touching the bowl so that it would light up and make music.
It could be worse - you could be a psych major! Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess it's a bit like having a preacher father or photographer mom. Eh, maybe. Anyway, regardless of "what" you are, "who" you are is what's important and you're a great mom anyway you look at it.
