Yes, O is walking, just shy of her first birthday. J was a little slower when he started, a few months after his first birthday. But O has done most things a little faster, I guess she had a head start being a toddler at birth (as my sister has said).
I have also enrolled J into a Tiny Tots program at the Armed Services YMCA on base. It's every morning from Mon-Thurs. They have a structured class with a teacher. They learn their colors, numbers and alphabet. They have a play time and a craft time too. The only down fall is that we won't be able to go to the library any longer. The times don't run over each other but O just can't last for both. But she enjoys the interaction with the older children so I think it'll be good for both of them.
J seems be enjoying it so far. He's a little shy when called apon for things but is willing to say what he asked to say. The other children answer the questions they are asked (what color is this? blue...) J needs to copy still, but I hope this class will move his speach along more. Of course his favorite thing is the play time. We've only gone a few times and he already asks when ever we are in the car, "Toys?" Silly boy.
You have to understand, grass isn't something we see everyday, especially in our yard!
