Attitude: we ended the month better than we started the month. There is still a lack of focus, which frustrates Ben and me, but not so much blatant non-listening. Beyond that he is still very silly and will laugh at the drop of a hat. [Probably literally, although I haven't actually tried it.]
Learning: I'm so happy with how much he is learning academically. He still sounds out the first letter of words and gets them. The other day he read "Off" and "Go" without any context (and "on" and "stop" after the former ones). I'm sure there are other words he knows, I just haven't found them yet. He can mostly count 1-20 but does get stuck on 12. Listening him count backwards from 10 is pretty funny...he mostly gets it but not completely. He knows that 100 and million and billion are big numbers.
Socializing: We've noticed Isaac tends to play by himself when by other kids, but that isn't always the case. As I've been watching more closely I see him playing with others too, just not as much as by himself. (Which is fine. Both in moderation, right?) I think he likes school except for the nap time...nap time really breaks it for him. But he happily goes into the class room.
Imagination: He is still a puppy dog. (Joshua called him Isaac the other day and Ben and I were so proud and Isaac yells over "My name is Puppy Dog!") However, there hasn't been as much actually being a puppy again this month. He still loves playing imagination games like Castle and Bucky the pirate ship and takes an hour to get dressed, probably because he is playing with them.
Doing stuff by himself: This past month we celebrated his complete independence with the toilet. He likes to use the TV remote and does a good job with the new one we have. He can make his own tasty water. He can do lego instructions as long as there are a limited number of pieces (so only the pieces for a few of the steps at a time).
(He likes his new quilt because it's soft.)
