New Hobby!

Jonathan is now interested in helping me mix his supplements. He helps me cut the tablets, crush them in the mortar, then mix them in his banana baby food. I normally cut all the pills for 1 week and organize them in a pill's container. I separate the morning and evening sets. I feel like I am a pharmacist when I prepare his supplements. But I can see the difference, so I am happy to do them.

Jonathan is very curious now. He comes home and immediately asks what I am going to do so he can help. Granted, he is still not as advanced with his play skills as I would like him to be, but just the fact that he wants to imitate is a great improvement. He is also interested in being in the kitchen when we cook. The other thing that surprised me yesterday was that I asked him the names of his teachers (per school) and he told me. First time ever I didn't have to ask him several times and prompt him. Also the names of his friends (he has 1 friend in each school - he is going to 3 schools) and he remembered them too. I am very proud of him. His memory is sticking more and more.

Yesterday we went to the movies to see Happy Feet and he loved it, laughed when appropriate, was upset (a bit only) when the penguin was sad, was scared at a couple of parts but coped well and even pointed out to me that a shark wanted to eat the penguin.
