More to Brag About...

Happy Valentine's Day! Brinson is doing great. I scored him on the PLS-Preschool Language Scale today and he did wonderful...of course! Brinson's strengths and weakness of auditory and expressive language fall in the 1 year and 5 month range...Way to go Smiley! He is still content to climb up things, crawl fast, stand near things and cruise around things...no independent walking yet...and we are fine with that... Today, I showed Brinson some picture cards to see what he could identify and was quite shocked to learn that he could ID 4 animals from a choice of 2...like a picture of a cat versus a banana...then I made him choose between 2 animals and he was able to get 3 out of 4...I think he got excited about the kitty cat and kept picking the cat or he was tired of my "therapy!" FUNNY STORIES: The other day Bo came home and he said, "give daddy a kiss"...and Brinson licked him (hehehe) Brinson has noticed our dog more lately and I mention that when Maverick licks he is giving kisses...so I guess he decided that he would lick rather than make the fish lip smacking kisses he has been giving. On Monday we were doing our usual "Music Time" at the computer so he can look at the graphics and listen to music...and he was so in to this one song called The Ants Go Marching that he instantly started laughing and smiling AND clapping. Brinson is really interested in our plants around the house...he does a lovely job of pruning them! And some of the plants really do look better...he is such a good helper. Now, not only the green plants are peaking his interest but the DIRT...yep, just this week he has taken a big handful of dirt and quickly put it in his mouth when he saw me coming to remove him from the mess...OH BOYS
