He’s a Smart One!

Justin’s mom (a teacher) gave me a book about learning and development when Thad was born. It gives lots of ideas for different activities that teach important skills. We’ve been going through it, and the most recent activity was to learn to put wooden clothespins into a milk jug. It teaches fine motor skills and whatnot. We practiced it a little each day, for a while he just kinda threw the clothespins at the jug, but after about a week, he figured it out.

He is also very good at helping me put away groceries
