journal #12

Timmy has made the most progress in the following areas his language skills and his motor skills. For example im sure you  have noticed he started saying what sounds like ma ma, da da, and/ or ba ba. He has also begin to scoot all over the classroom, very close to crawling. He can now fully roll over on his own.

The activity Timmy enjoys the most is pulling up on the exercise bar in the classroom to look at himself in the mirror. Actually any mirror we pull out in the classroom he enjoys and loves laughing and talking to himself.

Timmy is most excited and attentive when we go outside in the mornings. Since we are the infant classroom we dont have a set time that we go out like the other classes. So when we do go outside to play, he absolutely loves it. He loves playing in the grass and with the balls we have outside. He is usually so excited when we take the block pit outside with us.

Since Timmy is only nine months the best form of redirection for a child his age is usually just getting on the floor with him and giving him some extra attention when he is fussy. Picking him up or just sitting next to him on the floor usually calms him down.

One objective you as parents can work on at home with Timmy is start letting him feed himself little table foods or snack. For example little puffs and crackers that dissolve quickly in  his mouth are usually good tools to start self feeding.
