Shapes

For Christmas, Aiden got a shape sorter toy. It's one of those that has the different shaped blocks, and you have to put them in the hole that has the same shape. When we first got it, he didn't understand it and he would get frustrated with it. But now, he's figured out how it works and he can get them all in by himself. I've been trying to teach him his shapes by saying things like, "that's a circle, you have to put it in the one for the circle", or "that's a triangle, where do you think the triangle goes?". He's catching on really fast, and I'm sure he'll know what each shape is soon!

Where are my keys??

So, for Christmas, Santa brought Aiden a 'Playskool Busy Ball Popper'. He absolutely loves putting the balls in and watching them pop back out again. In fact, his favorite part is putting the balls inside. I think he really feels like that is where the balls are supposed to be, and after he gets them all inside he'll clap his hands and smile as if he fixed the broken toy! The only problem is, he thinks that he can put ANYTHING he gets his hands on into the Ball Popper. Recently, anything that goes missing at our house can usually be found inside of the Ball Popper. We've found keys, magnets, pencils & pens, and lots of other small items! Luckily, they have all been easily retrieved, and the toy is still working.
