James was up till late last night, as in 9:30 cavorting around his room and singing and blabbing, and reading books and wrecking the place! No rhyme or reason to it, as he had had a busy day, no naps and no chocolate before bed.
Michelle said while at Jo's house he burst into song, something unrecognisable, but several verses, and every one finished with a loud YAY!

Today we have been tidying and are still tidying the house which was a shambles and doing load after load of washing, and playing with James at the same time, picking him up whenever possible and doing flips, and lying on the floor and wrestling and so-on.
Michelle went to the toy Library and has got a tea set and pretend cake with segments and candles. We have all been role playing at having a birthday by bringing the cake in and singing happy birthday, and blowing out the candles then pretending to cut and eat the cake, and having cups of tea, we have the teds out all joining in. James mimics us a bit, but it's not clear whether he understands.
I went out on the tramp for him for quite a while, I was out hanging out the washing and he came out to me obviously wanting my attention. I tried to enrol him in handing the washing to me, but he wasn't interested, he gently too my hand and led me to the tramp (I let him). On it I was singing 'this is the way we wash our hair, wash our hair' I made up lots of alternative sentences about things he does, e.g. going to little school, eating peanut butter on toast, visiting Marco etc and he really enjoyed that and was laughing and smiling.
Just been playing with the cars in the hall and trying to show him how to play, pushing them along the hall and going 'crash', he looks a bit mystified, and when he plays with the cars just likes to get down and push them back and forward and look at the wheels mainly. I have a lot more patience for this sort of thing now, knowing the importance of it, and that he's not going to develop unless we help.

He has been doing puzzles. I think he's over puzzles at the moment. Been getting him to do some drawing with felts and pencils, he is babbling a LOT while doing it. I have been drawing circles squares and triangles.
