Mr. Coordination.

Although I grew Kai in my klutzy body, he seems to have come out with serious fine motor skills. He is able to stack a ridiculous number of 4 x 1" cylindrical blocks. Six to be precise. He could probably do seven if he could reach. Maybe next time I will get him a step stool to test the theory. It is incredible. I don't know if it is normal. I should look it up, but for now I will just remain mystified at this feat. Also, he can eat soup with a spoon. Soup with a spoon. That also seems like it should be impossible. He does these things like it is no big deal. I am throwing a party and he is just eating soup from a spoon like it is nothing.

Also, a super cute thing happened this week. We were at our monthly Attachment Parenting International meeting and a girl a little older than Kai took a wooden play spoon and held it out to Kai. She even did an airplane maneuver with it and Kai pretended to eat from the spoon. Very cute. Then he was pushing around a doll stroller with a little baby doll in it, he brought her over to be buckled in and then got a white straw hat with little flowers and a purse out of the dress-up bin. He had the hat on his head and the purse slung over one of the handles of the stroller. I have to remember to out my camera back into my diaper bag so that I can catch a picture next time.
