Slow & Steady

This is what I have to remember all the time with J. This morning we did some activities, and I do think I may have over done it, but glad to know that he will let me know when that happens in a gentle way.

First we cut bananas and ate them with a fork. He kept wanting to eat the knife, no worries it's a toddler knife. He did start trying to put it up with the fork, but then I relaized banana doesn't stay all that well on a fork, I know apple would have been much more successful. So I wound up giving him lots of help, and we did it.

We dropped large shaped into the soy nut butter jar, he had lots of fun with this, dropping them in, shaking the jar, taking them out, repeat...

Then I tried to play find it. With 3 trinket boxes turned upside down I hid one of the pieces with him watching, he had no interest and moved to his toys.

We will do more work later, right now he's just having fun doing his own thing. 1 activity at a time, that's best.
