Big Man on the Playground

The Rockies game was great.....it is always fun when the Rockies win....Dylan was pretty good most of the game......we only had to get up twice to go to the playground...otherwise he was pretty content on our laps most of the game....just as the beer runs out in the 7th inning so did our little guy...sound asleep on my lap.........

There was also a definite improvement in Dylan's behavior on the playground.....when he found a toy of interest he no longer will physically pull the other child off of the toy....he now knows it's just not acceptable behavior....He is still the big man on the playground though...when he finds a contraption he wants to play on or play with....he has a way of wiggling his way in.....in a non confrontational style and then uses his body to box out the other kids ......we also found that he loves big kids...especially boys and goes to where they are playing then proceeds to wiggle his way in and box out the competition......we have soooo been hoping that one of the bigger kids would put him in his place and stand their ground on the toy or box him out of the toy...but it just doesn't happen....they somehow don't seem to mind this little pint size guy with all the moxie and allow him to join in and do his thing........I have decided at the moment not to intervene...since Dylan is not being aggressive but more so persuasive in his behavior...we love the fact that he is so confident in himself and so confident that everyone will just love Dylan...we think in general this is a good thing and will live it alone for now.......
until next time
