Aaron had his tastes at breakfast, but that was it. At lunch he ate a couple of bites of kiwi after asking me "what dis?" He only had his tasting nibbles of the rest -- turkey burger, sandwich thin and green beans.

Aaron and Thomas were having so much fun today racing around with dinosaurs. First of all they were going round and round in circles after each other and then they started

In the back room several of the kiddos were lining up a bunch of the Duplo blocks, with Aaron's help. Aaron then decided they were just the right size for hurdles and was jumping over them successfully every time.

Aaron is using the children's names so much more these last couple weeks, even just in play and conversation, not just when we ask him. He is also bringing me many different items and labeling them (saying what they are) throughout the day. I love it when their language starts to really pick up like that.

Another thing that I have really noticed is the increase in the amount of times he uses his words now when he either wants something or doesn't want someone to do something. In direct relation to that is the decrease in the amount of times he has been hitting or pushing the kiddos. Increasing language skills almost always make a difference. They figure out they can get their needs met better by talking rather than being aggressive!
