Ari is Back Home and Other Ari Updates
Jun 24th, 2006 by Brian A. Thomas
Ari is back home after spending the week at Sara’s parent’s house. With Sara gone, I would have had to take Ari out there each day and pick him up each night as he slept. It was decided it would be best to leave him alone most nights and for me just to visit him each day before I went to work. I saw him each day for an hour or more before going to work each weekday except the day the air conditioning was being fixed. That day I ended up taking a nap, which worked out fine since they took Ari to Youngstown to see family and wasn’t home anyhow.
He is getting better with colors and counting. He can count to 3 with no problems (I think he understand to 5 fairly well, but forgets the words to use). He can somewhat sing the ABCs, and is speaking in fairly good sentiences, though many of his words are still hard to understand. He seems mostly right handed, but he was shooting his water gun the other day with his left hand. He knows big and little…
Things to be worked on. His fear of water. It’s an odd fear. He likes bath time and splashing around, but has a fear of laying in the water. His pronouncation of words seems off from where they should be at his age, some of this may be stubbornness and just wanting to stick with the words he has used.
