Take two

This is Jacob "skipping". I think he looks so cute when he does this around the house.

Nothing pretty about anything at this point. Oh, yes, I noticed how green the grass is. Your tree is so pretty. Bring your video camera. We should have some good shots Christmas morning. I'm getting so excited.; 6:00 PM
Brother Cassian said...: Great takes of the "skipping." That, to use our old-fashioned technical terms, is "galloping." He is keeping the same foot in front of the other. Skipping is a significant development and involves switching from one foot to the other. This all is related to the child's developing ability to "cross the midline" -- to be able to organize his body into a co-ordinated whole, not being limited to two halves.

So, from our postings yesterday, we can conclude that you boy is definitely developing -- and I can be assured that you have substituted a much older boy for precious Jacob.

Aren't videos wonderful? I am certainly grateful that I could SEE him gallop! I will definitely look forward to seeing him skip!!; 8:36 AM
