To end our third week of school, the boys spent most of the morning out on the hillside. During our first week of school N found the big plastic spools and has really enjoyed being able to roll them down the hill. As soon as we hit the hillside today, N ran straight to the spools. He began to play his normal game of giving them a slight push so they start to roll, but makes sure he is running ahead of them. He did this a few times and finally caught L's attention.
In the video below you can see how N rolls the spools down the hill and L watching him. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to catch what happened next. L walked over to the basket and picked up a playground ball. He gave it a big throw to watch it tumble down the hill. It was so great to watch him imitate N! As the play went on, I noticed that N was beginning to run ahead of the spools and would stop where he thought they might end up. He was trying to predict where they would eventually crash! Although his many attempts were unsuccessful, he didn't stop trying. We love to see these little moments of development!
