A perfect example of Natalie's awesome communication. Today our home visitor dropped in at play group and asked Natalie if she went swimming this weekend. Natalie says: "pool suit kick feet jump" with lots of repeating and mumbling in between each word. Its just so amazing that she can now really tell you about something she's done!
Here are other awesome things she's been doing:
- Rolling cars on the floor and making them vroom. This also includes putting dolls in and out of her new Little People bus.
- Roll playing with dolls including putting them in and out of the house, off and on the toy furniture, making them hug and kiss each other, and making the baby cry and call for momma or dadda
- Wanting to dress and undress her dolls
- Pretend play with food, including throwing her first real tea party this morning where she set up three toys around the tea try
- Dress up - mostly with sunglasses, purses, and shoes
- Coloring in pictures with purpose
- Identifying family relationships in pictures such as pointing out the mother, father, sister, and brother in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
- Awesome use of fork and spoon
- How to care for a baby - rock, hugs, pat on back, tuck in, diaper, bottles, bath
- Putting shoes on and off by self some of the time and sometimes correct feet
- Take her shirt off by herself
- Drink from a straw, including getting a hang of not tilting a straw cup
- Talking consistently in two word phrases such as Elmo juice, Momma hand, Ariel movie, Gabba watch
- This isn't really a skill, but Natalie now faces front in the car
- Natalie has also had some really awesome listening recently. Things like coming over and sitting down to get her diaper changed before we can go out.
- She's also doing well right now with putting single toys back where they belong and putting food she doesn't want back on her plate.
- At play group today, Natalie made the train cars go along the track for the first time.
