Ira the problem solver

Here are some photos Alex took of Ira. As we watched we saw him working really hard on getting the pen lid on, do a bit of drawing and then work equally as hard on putting the pen lid back on. He was thinking very hard about what he was doing and what he needed to make his fingers do in order to get the lid on and off. He had a great strategy of resting the lid on the table and pushing the pen in till it clicked. Great problem solving Ira!

Tasks that use fine motor skills are tricky for any 2 and half year old and with Ira's fused fingers things are a bit more tricky for him to manage. It is great to see him coming up with strategies to get around his extra difficulties.

Peek-a-Boo

while outside I noticed Ira heading for the shell, a short while later he was no longer there when approaching the shell I noticed some movement inside the shell and went for a closer look.. here is a video of spotting Ira inside the shell hiding with all the balls!!

Little Yellow Digger

Here is a video of Ira's newest favorite story. He is working really hard on his language at the same time. Next to Katie is his friend Maanav. They have been spending more and more time together

Looking forward to seeing the video that goes with it :-)

Shake your grove thing!

I am often amazed with how far Ira has come since starting at City Kids. When we think back he had only started to walk and was still quite unsteady now here is a video of him shaking his grove thing and having a dance like a pro! Go Ira!

Ira's Big Entrance

Thanks for the Photos! As well as putting them in Irie's profile book I thought I would pop them up here. All of the staff loved them! We think they show his personality beautifully!
