As you know, Harper is one of my favorite littlies at my flaky African friend's daycare. Today I got to spend a couple of hours with her and her rug rat friends. She is getting older now, and I confirmed today that she has reached the 15-month mark. She has been playing "rolly catch" with me and her young friends since before she could walk.
At this point in her development, she can throw a ball. Over the past week, she has started throwing it to the individual of her choice and saying "I did it!" really clearly. She also says her own name, my name, and the names of some of the teachers and kids around her, really clearly.
I will not post a picture I took of her today on my flaky friend's phone. I will post a picture of last Summer's softball team that won another championship. We are a bunch of "old guys," but we can play. I resent it when I hear that "jocks" are insensitive beasts and cannot to be sensitive to their wives, children, etc. And I believe hat both sports and music are beneficial to littlies. Am I crazy?
"The wheels on the bus..." Can you find me in the photo? I am NOT a dumb jock, in spite of what my brother says.

Damn easy...the glummest face in the picture is yours. LOL
The second from right in the front row...black shirt...
I agree with you, kids learn more with music and games and sports than when they are yelled at. For example I. I learned nothing because I feared giving wrong answers.

@snowy22315 Why not football? The contact involved in football helped me. But we didn't try to hurt each other.

As the owner of several ladies' oil wrestling teams, I, too, take offense at the assertion that men who are into sports are insensitive.

You're in the first row, second from the right? I'm glad you're having such success with the littles. I agree about sports and music. Have a great weekend.

Isn't he naive? He thinks nobody would be able to spot him...sigh...
I admit I was kinda surprised at the side profile of a singer in The Dawgwood Trio...so much like our Pony...but our Pony never wore a hat like that or clothes like that.....and that guy fortunately for the world...smiles. Evil Grin.
