Today I was drinking a can of Ginger Ale. Aaron (3 1/2) wanted some but I told him no.  He asked, “Is your soda going to make me bounce on the walls?”

I vaguely remember telling him some time ago when he wanted a drink of my Coke, that he couldn’t because I didn’t want him bouncing off the walls (hyper). It’s funny how little ones take everything you say seriously, and literally.  

Yesterday afternoon, hubby and I watched Gabriel (4 1/2) write all but three of his letters correctly.  “S” was backwards, and he said he didn’t know how to write the “M” and “W”.  I had no idea he could do this! A couple weeks ago he was struggling to draw a square, but now he can write his letters. 

He has always had a loose grip and had some difficulty with his fine motor skills. So, this is completely amazing to me.  I was crying as I watch him write yesterday.  I don’t think they are really working on writing letters at his preschool, but I know they are working on fine motor skills and occupational therapy.  But he knows what the letters look like, so now with his improved grip and hand eye coordination,  he’s writing!

 I am so excited about this.  Really NOT intending to brag about our little boy, but we are so happy that he is flourishing.
