I think shoe tying is a more complex process.
well, we tossed around the idea of preschool, but when they sent out all the forms he still wasn't using the toilet so we missed all the deadlines.. and he still won't poop in there, so we just decided to keep him home.
he counts to 13, sometimes 14.. but then he swears 69 comes next.. he's a weirdo.
he recognizes the letters, and can write some of them.. he can write the letters of his name, but i have to tell him which ones to write.. he refuses to learn the alphabet in order.. and he's not good with lower case letters.. and he wont write his name in a line, just random all over the page.
he can't tie his shoes, but he really hasn't had tie shoes that he wears regularly
he can dress himself, and knows his shapes and colors
he's super good at puzzles and mazes
he's very flighty though, and it's really hard to get him to pay attention.. and i'm afraid he's not going to settle down before school
he knows how to spell no, yes, and stop.. if that helps any.. hehe
i try to keep in mind that he just turned 4 a month and a half ago.. but brenna knew the alphabet when she was like 2, and i'm afraid he's really behind.. i mean i keep hearing about my godson who starts K this year, and is already reading 1st grade level books.. makes me paranoid cuz chris isn't interested in doing any of that stuff
we have some shape, letters, numbers and colors dvds that he watches every once in awhile (that annoy me SO much by the way.. haha)
he draws and paints all the time.. he knows how to do laundry if i hold him up to run the dials.. hehe..
we don't read to him a lot because he just won't sit still to get through a book unless it has like 5 pages.. it's very rare that he'll stay and listen to a book. he's a do-er, not a listener. another thing i'm afraid he'll have trouble with in school.. listening.
ah well.. he's still got another year, right? i don't need to be so paranoid
dyk I agree that a memorial service helps you move forward by celebrating his life
dyk why did they opt to wait half a year to hold his?
dyk checking in for a quick drive by
dyk feel bad that I haven't participated in dyk this summer the way I have the last several summers
dyk guess I've been busy
dyk I've really been enjoying this summer and can't believe just a few more weeks left.
