[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 549078, member: 84"] Thanks Janet. I'll look them up. I hope they have fat handles or grips to them :) I'm trying to take some time with Brandon while Connor is napping. (easy child is doing the same thing) So he can get a little Me time all his own. Today we discussed Chugington, the trains he wanted me to watch with him, and Mickey Mouse ect. Brandon is talking much better now but it's still really hard to understand him much of the time. I'm big on encouraging words and them using their words. I pick things around the house and ask him what the colors are, if he gets one wrong I associate it with something he can remember like green is for grass, yellow for the sun ect. He's doing better with colors too.......I think easy child has been working with him that way and started the alphabet and counting. Connor is better at counting than Brandon because I count with him going up the stairs for nap and then back down the stairs when he gets up......actually he counts any stairs he uses. lol (hey it works) he just doesn't seem to like the number one. lmao Brandon doesn't seem at all interested in counting stairs and just blinks at me when I sing the alphabet song........on the other hand, Connor loves singing and music and loved it when I sang it. Maggie adores Connor to the nth degree, almost like a magnet, she does NOT want to leave him alone for a second. She likes Brandon and Darrin just fine, but will seek out Connor no matter where he is. Brandon did surprise me today when he played fetch with her tennis ball and used all the right commands with her. He was very patient and remembered to pet her and tell her she was a good girl too. I was quite impressed. So Brandon does listen to instruction and remember just fine, it's just getting him interested it looks like. So I'll have to think of some ways to get him interested. hmmm Janet, I don't even want Brandon to go to preschool doing the baby talk./behavior thing.
