Sense-Sational Toddler!

Brody has always been a very sensory oriented baby. He does not like the way A LOT of things feel, which was partly the reason for him being so late standing. He didn't like the sensation of standing on his feet. We noticed this when he ate as well. He refused to pick up anything wet. Had no trouble with crackers, puffs, cheerios but by all means put some veggies or fruit down there and he squishes up his face and throws his hands up.

He has recently been moved up to the toddler room...woohoo...more on this later. And they let him finger paint, play with play dough, all sorts of things that force him to get over all of these sensory issues. Low and behold, I think its working. He devoured his spaghetti tonight! Take a look for yourself..

Back to Brody changing classrooms. Finally, finally, finally he's being moved up. God answers prayers. I was really concerned that him not walking was going to keep him in the infant room past the summer. But the daycare tried him out last Friday in the toddler room and were shocked at well he did right off the bat. He of course cried when he realized he was leaving Ms. Sherry. (They even had to go to the extent of covering the window so he couldn't see her in the infant room across the hall.) What can I say, my baby gets attached!

He took a GREAT nap on a mat, just rolled over on his belly, stuck his booty in the air and asleep he went! He loves arts and crafts, but going outside and music time tie for his favorite. He is just so much more stimulated now! PRAISE!!!!

And as promised...more pics of our fun weekend this past weekend. These are some of the "toys" we bought for the backyard. We got a pool and a ball pit. He LOVES them!!
