I've started working with the 1 and 2 yr olds at Del Norte on some "early intervention" techniques. As we've been spending more and more time with them, and watching them next to our director's kid who's the same age, we're realizing how far behind these babies already are! So from now on I'll be going to Del Norte on Mondays and Thursdays with another staff woman to try and get the babies moving in the right direction. This Monday was the first day, and so with a few group members we played with play-dough, puzzles, balls, read a counting book, tried to eat Cheerios, crawled around a lot, and practiced some walking and standing. I was so excited to see that Alexis, who just turned 1, will now stand up or take a few steps if you're holding his hands. And he figured out how to eat Cheerios, all major accomplishments in my book! You can see he worked really hard, he fell asleep eating his lunch with 30 other kids running around screaming.
