Out of the cocoon
It’s amazing to see a child develop isn’t it? Usually we see the biggest differences between infanthood and toddler hood. I can’t tell you how many ways my son has changed in the past year. I wrote this blog post on the weekend http://blog.canadianparents.com/sarahnb/2008/10/18/what-has-happened-to-my-kid-alien-abduction/
Today he played in a soccer jamboree. It was simply for fun and his school had three teams playing so each team played three times. Parker chose to go in nets. Yup, the unathletic kid up against a team of wild kids, trying to kick a ball at him. He caught the ball!!
I was also speaking with the OT who assessed him this summer. I told her he was in Judo three times a week and how attentive the instructors are in helping him. She was very impressed and said if he is doing that then there really isn’t a need for him to have physical therapy to work on body awareness and gross motor. We’re doing it all through Judo.
At church it’s been mentioned recently how Parker seems to have absorbed so much and anytime they quiz the kids on what they’ve been learning, he has the answers…..now that his sister has moved up in age groups. He’s also been coming up with obscure questions lately. It’s interesting to see the things he’s thinking about.
