He has been wearing his Phillies hat non-stop since I put it on him a month ago. He wears it all day, sleeps in it and he even wears it in the bath. I don't really fight it, because before the hat, he would complain about how bright every thing was, he would cry that it was too bright and often I felt helpless. Now he doesn't mention it.
He is becoming a more social creature and I like seeing his social personality grow. Yesterday while we were at Georgie's baseball game, Hollis came up to me and pointed to an older man and said "He's Brian" and I asked him how he knew that. He said "I walked up to him and asked what's is your name and he said Brian. I said I am Hollis." Brian smiled. At Georgie's sports games and activities, Hollis makes friends with all the younger siblings. We had a huge park breakthrough the other day, when Hollis just ran off and played with kids he didn't know at all, while I sat on a blanket talking with momma friends. He played without me for two hours.
Everyday we build castles, sometimes up to ten times a day. For his first Christmas I prematurely bought him a set of wooden blocks These blocks sat mostly untouched until a couple of months ago, and now we build castles everyday. It is the first thing he asks to do when he wakes up in the morning. He even asks if we can do it in the morning, right before he falls asleep. He cycles through his favorite activities every couple of months. It is the time for castles.
Eating. I still struggle to get this kid to eat a well-balanced diet. He just doesn't want to eat my meals, preferring only the meat and fruit just as he did when he was a baby.
