Teacher Play Date

On sat, Ethan had his appointment with his developmental teacher, who will come to the house once a month to play with him show me some things I can do to help him progress and just overall things that can bring his adjusted age closer to his actual age. She played with him for 45 mins she said nething more than that is usually a waste of time because the kid will get bored and not focus. She did things like stack blocks with him, ask him to do things, as well as singing to him with animal noises. She was very shocked to see him play with legos for more than a couple mins, she said his attention span should last no more than min and a half maybe two mins and he managed to stay at the blocks for about 10 mins before getting bored. She said his cognative skills are awesome and he does very well when u tell him how to do something or show him u usually dont have to repeat yourself. She also said his walking looks like it is progressing and by the next time she comes back he should be walking fully and she will help him with other things like balance, standing on one leg and running(eeekkk). If hes not walking all the time by then, she will show me ways to help him. She will be back on July 11th. She also was very shocked when she started singing E.I.E.I. O( with an oink,oink here and an oink oink there) and he crawled over to his farmer toy and pulled the lever that sang the exact same song. Overall he had a very good appointment. I am so proud of him ;o)
