update

Austin has gotten a lot bigger.  He now rolls over to be on his stomach.  He can now hold his head up but gets tired after a few minutes.  Austin grabs my fingers, and loves to put everything in his mouth.  He still slobbers a lot, and does not have object permanence.

Jacob is gone from our class. 

Charlie has many words, and uses sign language accurately.  She can walk and run and is very close to the teachers.  She always gives us hugs.  she is a bit picky when it comes to food.  Charlie can hold her marker properly and colors with both hands.  

Henry does not talk, but he signs accurately.  He climbs on tables all the time, even though we tell him to get down.  Henry eats what you put in front of him.  He runs and plays and tends to smile more when parents are around.  Henry seems to be the boss at home.  You have to firmly tell him what to do.  

Elizabeth is now crying a lot less.  She pulls herself up to stand and has gone from army crawling to regular crawling.  She makes very few sounds.  

Grayson pulls to stand up.  He can stand on his own for a few seconds.  He still puts things in his mouth.  Grayson uses the walker with relative ease.  He tries to eat dirt when no one is looking.  He only likes orange vegetables, but we mix the peas and green beans with the orange foods, which he does eat.  

Chloe is a new girl.  She crys almost all day.  she walks on her own, but has no words.  She will not eat in a chair.  Chloe is very happy when her mother leaves.  She only plays on her own when siting on someones lap.

Someone tell me...

why is it that when you stick to your commitment, even when personal business gets in the way, you still get screwed over.  Why is being a good person even worth it?

week 5 day 2

Austin finally rolled over today.  He's about 4 months old. He can follow objects with his eyes, and now laughs when you tickle him. Elizabeth is a nine month old Chinese girl.  At home she is always carried, so she has not had the chance to build muscle strength.  She used to always have to be carried by the aids or the teacher, but she now feels safe and can sit on her own.  When she cries while being carried Holly puts her down.  I think its because she will cry either way so she is trying to make her comfortable on the floor.  Although Grayson is younger than her at 8 months, he can stand and was trying to walk with a walker.  He fell alot, but at the end realized sitting while you fall is not as painful.
