Summary
It has been a good month. As mentioned last month, he is really blossoming at the new päiväkoti. The teachers note that he is very cheerful and happy, and generally great to be around.
Learning/Development
He loves to do "tricks" with his fingers and cross fingers, or make the devil horns, or whatever, and then say "can you do this?"
He has started to lie about things, often claiming to have brushed teeth when he has not.
Language
His Finnish comes more easily these days. The English is still there and strong at home, but he easily responds to Kimmo in Finnish.
To Kimmo's delight, he is working on his Finnish "r" sound, and it shows.
To Angela's amusement, this affects his English speech too. He still has a "fr" for a "tr" so instead of "triangle", he says "frrriangle" because the R is a bit more rolled than before.
Toys/Games/Other
He seems quite happy at his new day care. He can't answer much about what exactly he does there.
His favorites at home are cars and Legos. He is also interested in board games -- sequence, alias, etc
.
As is his style, he was reluctant at gymnastics and wanted to just watch. But the part that got him pulled in despite himself was the crab walking. he ended up having a great time and is excited to go back next week.
He seems to have good resistance to the television. he won't just watch whatever is on, even during kids' programming.
Social
He has a little buddy at päiväkoti.
Eating
He still loves food, but often wants to complain about it first. For example, we went to a new restaurant and ordered French fries for him. They were a different shape from the fast food ones he is familiar with, so he cried and got angry and refused to eat, and hit anyone near him. But after ten minutes, he tried one and announced "these are good!" and finished the whole basket.
Sleeping
He is still struggling to get to sleep at night on the days when he goes to päiväkoti. We suspect that they let him nap as long as he wants. He usually wants us to stay in his bedroom while he tries to sleep, but it can easily take 30 minutes.
