Amazing

Today, W boy really amazed me in a couple of ways.

One is he figured out how to squeeze my ball between the coffee table and sofa so that it is stable and he climbed up on the ball all by himself via the sofa and stood on the ball. He then called me to see him. See pictures.



The second way is he finally got Pitter Patter Polt (movement Enki 1st grade). I will have to post a video of him doing it. For a while now, he had trouble doing the "here a shoe/nail, there a shoe/nail" which requires you to touch the opposite hand/feet first in front and then in back (repeated). The trouble W boy had originally was the timing. He would do front, then back, but instead of 4 times, he would sometimes do 2, sometimes 3 times and I believe it is because he had to think about the movement but not the words. As a result, it was always out of sync. Anyway, he finally got it today. The light bulb was turned on!

Finally, and certainly not the least, he mastered tying the "bunny ear" knots and used his finger to push the bunny ear out onto the other side. Now, I know for sure, he can ty his knots and with good speed. This is another one of those things he figured out for himself. It's one of those "ah-ha" moments. W boy said,"oh, you push the bunny ear with your finger into the hole." Yes, that is indeed the trick. :) Before he would get the ear to go in the back and then come out which works but is a lot more tricky.
