Milestones in heels...

I had a proud mummy day yesterday! I was proud of Jasper for seeming to have achieved some cognitive milestones and so proud of myself for knowing my son so well that I noticed them. The cognitive milestones I speak of might not be actual 'milestones' but they certainly seem to be. The first difference I noticed was in how well he was role-playing all of a sudden. He fished elmo out of his orange tub trug toy-bin and gave him a cuddle and kiss when I promted him to. We were then putting elmo into various vehicles (like his little people bus) and Jasper was wheeling them around. He was later doing this kind of thing with other soft toys...he wasn't treating them that way even a day before! When Remmy got home from work we were chatting about his newfound ability to role-play and then we heard clop, clop, clopping down our hall! This is what we found...

[might need to add videos later...problem with computer!]

We were laughing so much, him putting on one of my shoes illustrated his new ability perfectly! Remmy then decided that one shoe wasn't enough...look at how well this child can walk in heels! Too funny!

Another clever thing I noticed him do was just after dinner...he did an almighty burp and I called him a piggy, making him laugh. I repeated myself and he laughed again, grabbed his toes and said, "little piggy" -- lately we have been doing that nursery rhyme on his toes...this little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home...etc etc! I was so proud!
