Vivian has been busy mastering some gross motor skills this past month. She is working on stacking, packing, carrying and dancing, oh my! She especially loves the tupperware and pots and pans. It's great because it makes it easier for me to cook dinner as she entertains herself with the kitchen fare. She takes everything out of the cabinets and then tests out what each item is capable of doing. Will this pot fit in this tupperware? Will this lid fit on this pot? What if I turn the lid upside down? How about my magnet letter? Will they stick to other things? How many will fit in this tuppeware? Can I carry this pot by the handle? Nope, too heavy. Can I carry all the pots stacked into each other with two hands? Oh yeah I can! The possibilities are endless. The only downer is that she creates a huge mess and she hasn't mastered how FUN it is to put things back. Vivian hasn't been much of a mover and a shaker but recently I have found her attempting to explore beats of music by bouncing her knees. It's quite cute because she isn't sure if she should be doing it or what she's doing. It's an innate reaction to the music I guess. When I see her doing it I try to encourage more of it by smiling, clapping and dancing in small movements with her but she just stops and moves on. That's all right. We'll just have to keep having dancing parties and trying.
