Around the House

Avery is all about reading books and doing puzzles (wood alphabet letters with corresponding objects, and fitted animal & vehicle pieces). She'll go into her bucket of books and pull out 4 or 5 at a time and bring them to us to read, or just go look at them on the ground by herself somewhere. With the puzzles, she can identify any of the animals or letters, and say yes or no (nod or shake her head) if she wants to put that piece in. She'll sit and do the same puzzle over and over and over....dumping the pieces out by turning the puzzle upside down.

Connor is mostly interested in containers and carrying things around. He'll put pieces of puzzle, balls, pretty much anything into a bucket, bag, or whatever, and carry it around...only to find some other container and move the contents over to it.

The other day we had a "spinning" session, where they were spinning around and getting dizzy, and cracking up. It must feel weird to them to get dizzy and try to walk.
