Grady Developments

Touchdown!!!!

This week has been a big week for the kids. Gretta is walking and getting better every day. And at 25 months, Grady now knows his colors, numbers 1-10 and alphabet. Grady is speaking in phrases/sentences and every day he learns something new. We have been working on all of this for a long time so it is very exciting that is has finally "clicked". I know they say kids at this age are like sponges and it is true. He loves to learn.

Grady absolutely loves his books and knows the name of almost every common animal as well as every different kind of vehicle made. He is still pointing out and naming everything he sees. He would rather read a book than watch anything on tv and his attention span for reading is much longer. He likes to read to Gretta and point out things to her. Then he asks her to "say it". This is hilarious to me because that is what we do with him all the time. As a result Gretta actually has picked up on many forms of communication and some vocabulary already. She says "hi" and if we just say "hi" to her she will wave back. Oh, another favorite is "uh-oh", which she says if something drops. So cute! She also says the basics, mama, dada, baba, etc...

Their world is magical at this age and their communication and vocabulary skills are impressive. I have to say the best part about being home with them is seeing the hard work payoff. I know that almost every thing they know, I have taught them. And that is something to be proud of. Life is Good.
