How cute is Graham's outfit? I wasn't planning on him wearing the hat, but he insisted! Today we sat at the new table and did some puzzles, reading, and even some coloring! Graham really isn't into coloring yet, but I keep trying. I LOVED to color, and am hoping he will one day enjoy it, so I can color again too!
We had a few days of lovely weather, a tease for spring. Graham and I took his radio flyer bike outside to ride, and he did so well! He rode it by himself all the way down the driveway. I was so thrilled I was annoyed I didn't bring the video camera out with me. So, we ran back inside to get it. I brought Pat out with me to help so I could recreate the fantastic bike riding. Oh my goodness! It was so not good! Graham had had enough by then! I won't post it because its just him sitting on the bike, screaming. I'll try again the next nice day we have.
Let's see, what else is new with us? Graham has been so easily frustrated and upset lately. I think it is a combination of two things. One, his age, and two, his teeth. Last week I noticed that his gums were so incredibly swollen. They were practically taking up the whole sides of his mouth! Today I was able to get a finger in there to feel, and sure enough, he is getting his first set of molars! Oh, my. He is not dealing well with them. I feel bad because he is clearly in a bit of pain, and there really isn't much I can do for him other than offering cold things to chew on and ibuprofen.
On a positive note, Graham is now starting to sign and say "thank you" and "please". The best part? He is using them at the appropriate times. He will actually sign and say "please" when he wants something. My little gentleman:)
