Summary
He has settled into the "school" year at päiväkoti.
The biggest change this month is getting over the fear of putting pencil to paper. And now he is really enjoying drawing.
Learning/Development
He is interested in what words look like. He sometimes wants to know what words say in the books we look at.
One thing lately we have been working on is comfort with drawing and writing and art. His teachers are also working hard to help him over his fear of mistakes. And now suddenly he loves to draw! He sits with a marker and a piece of paper and demands "what should I draw?". The kids are making drawings and taping them to the walls. They said they want to completely cover the walls with their drawings so that "you have to put them on the ceiling."
Language
He enjoys both English and Finnish books.
His favorites in English are Richard Scarry, Arnold Lobel, and Sandra Boynton.
Toys/Games/Other
He is enjoying playing Alias. He can do a pretty good job of describing things so that we can guess them.
Social
He has started to list the preferred guests for his birthday party.
Health (eating, sleeping, etc)
He branched out from the strawberry fluoride tablets, and now he likes the mint ones. He says they are "spicy!"
