These are fun goals

Last year, Benji and Trey Davey really improved their gross motor skills. They stopped toddling and began walking agilely. The boys mastered running around obstacles, climbing ladders, using slides independently, kicking balls forward, riding a tricycle and alternating feet when climbing stairs. That was all preparation for this year, which is the year Mommy and Daddy teach their boys how to play ball. We are going to learn to catch, bounce and throw a ball overhead. Teaching them to take off running from a standing start, turn and stop in a controlled manner will perfect their base running skills. We are also going to learn to turn somersaults; hop on one foot; gallop; brush teeth; comb hair; wash and dress with little assistance. It’s going to be a fun year.
