Kirk has been oddly clingy/cranky the last couple of days. He'll be perfectly happy playing by himself. Then suddenly he's screaming for our attention. And only holding him on your hip while standing is good enough. It's really weird but sitting with him on your lap or playing with him on the floor won't do the trick. I have to wonder what's up. Is he sensing the impending daycare change? Is he going through a reversion signalling a new development? (He's definitely free-standing for longer and longer and even taking an accidental step on occasion.) Is he exercising a new sense of individuality? Is he just "being a butt"?
It's so much fun watching his play developments though. He's figured out that he can place a ball on the top of the Pound a Ball and then smack it with his hand to send it through. No hammer use yet but that'll come with time. He drives his various trucks and trains, including a totally kickass F-150 that plays "We Will Rock You", and he makes vroom noises while pushing them along. He climbs up his little transforming step/chair and is so very proud of himself for sitting on the top of the two little steps. It's just beyond adorable and I love watching his experimentation and discovery.

The Pound A Ball is still a hit at our house! Zane started with pushing the balls with his hand. Then he went on to the hammer. Now he uses things like books or other toys to pound the balls in. Child development and creativity are such a lovely things to behold, aren't they?
Ooh, glad to know that the Pound a Ball has some staying power!
Wow, you guys have some sweet toys. Esther has been playing Pound the Cat with the remote lately. It's probably not very developmentally sound, but maybe??
Pound the Cat! Hee!
I hope thinglet doesn't get word of that version and work on his own little sister flavored variation....
Aw, that's so sweet though!
