Noticing the little things

A few things of note about Johnny.


1. He is an active boy and does not fear head wounds. He hurls his little body over obstacles, convinced that he'll come out alright on the other side. This exasperates his parents (he's already had stitches once; no desire for a repeat on that one), but you do have to admire his pluck and stamina. 
2. He is a builder. Loves to construct Geotrax and Thomas train tracks.
3. He is surprisingly coordinated. Always a physical fellow, John really enjoys riding his little trike in front of the house. He easily gets on and off, pushes with his feet, and drags it by the handlebars if a hill is too big for his little legs. I never have to carry his bike unless it's time to go inside, in which case I usually carry the bike and a very resistant boy.
4. Just noticed this one today while playing cars with Johnny. He is quite meticulous. He was picking cars up from a pile and sending them down a Little People ramp. He would twist his little wrist as he picked up the vehicles so that as he placed them on the track, each car was facing forward to go down the ramp. I thought it interesting to note the seemingly effortless coordination he applied to accomplish this small feat.


The line-up

Taking the time today to notice some of the little things I love about you, John-John.
