Summer here we come...

Not too much is going on this week with Will. The family is just trying to finish up the school year and Will is along for the ride. Will still isn't walking, but he is making huge strides elsewhere. He now has all four molars, which brings his tooth count to 12. He has started to play ball with us, both rolling and "throwing (and by throwing I mean he picks the ball up and holds it over his head and then lets go of it with an attempt at direction..that is a toss to me." He has become very interested in putting things in and out of containers, playing with his cars and role playing with his animals. (Well, as much roll playing as a one year old can accomplish that is... he moves them around and puts them in and out of cars, his airplane and his mailbox.)

He continues to toddle after his race car and is moving very well. It is very funny to watch him walk behind that toy. Once he finds his balance, he'll be walking with no problem.

Other than that, the only other thing to report is that Will was bitten again at day care. This is the second time in three weeks and we're pretty angry about it. To the day care's credit, they are taking the appropriate steps, but I just wish they were doing a little more on the prevention side of things. They refer to this child as the "biter" but at this point there is not a serious effort being made to keep them separated. It is the oldest vs. the youngest..the largest child vs. the smallest and I feel that they could be doing a little more to prevent this from happening. They have put two reprimands in child's file and talked to his parents..again. We have also been told by his teachers that if it happens a third time they parents will be called in and there is a possibility the child will be removed from the day care. I don't wish to necessarily have the child removed, but there needs to be something done to stop this behavior. If the biter is the child I beleive it is, he is almost two. That is developmentally old enough to understand that biting is not an acceptable behavior. Thankfully the skin was not pierced and the tough boy is doing fine.

Now that Summer is basically here, we're should have more things to report..seeing that we'll actually have some time to do some fun activities. Coming up....Will vs. the water table toy.
