Where is your nose? What does a kitty say?

This Dad and Mom have helped their  little girl learn lots. She likes showing off how much she knows.  Mom and Dad just go on if there is a question she doesn't answer.  It seems like they all have fun with learning.  

Toddler catches Daddy?

Chasing Daddy is fun.  She seems to like chasing him better than catching him.  Dad is good at adjusting the game to what she likes. 

Getting down the steps

First they learn to go up, then they need to learn to come down.  This little girl uses a method other than sliding down on her tummy.  She has mastered coming down safely, but Mom is nearby just in case something goes wrong!

Will he always be this slow?

Teaching babies to be safe on stairs takes patience. It is faster just to carry the kid up, but this mom and dad are doing it right by taking the time to let him  learn to do it himself.  Soon they will have trouble keeping up with him.

Stack up, knock down

Everybody is having fun. Grandma stacks the cones, Mom helps the baby balance, Baby gets to make something happen and get lots of positive attention for it.

Roll the ball

Being on his tummy is more fun when he has something else to do. This little guy is learning about how he can move and getting some early sports training.  Mom is very patient. She just talks to him and lets him figure it out on his own.

Learning to share

This Dad is helping his little guy learn the basics of taking turns and sharing.  You might not want to try this

Toddler-Puppy Challenges

       The girl and the puppies are both so little.  How do you  teach her to get along with them? This little girl does a pretty good job of being gentle when one puppy gets her foot and one her face. She wants to crawl in the bed with Mama Dog, but minds when told not to. Her Mama does a good job of telling her what she should do- "Back up". Mama is really helping her learn lots!
