Month 25
Month 25
“Watch out, i’m becoming more independent”
When other children are
around I get excited
I COPY OTHERS,
especially adults
and older children
Each day I show more and more independence
Which means I show defiant behavior (doing what you’ve told me not to)
I like to play mainly beside other children, but I am beginning to include other children, such as in chase games
I may recognize a few things or pictures when they are named
I know the names of some familiar people
I can speak now in sentences
Its easy for me to follow simple instructions
I can run now even in circles
I can throw a ball at you and can catch when you throw
I can use the stairs on my own now
