What Happened? We have had a pretty busy month. We went to a birthday party at Tumble Bus Station and have had quite a few playdates. We have taken him to the park in my parents neighborhood and he loves it. It is fenced in so we can just let him run and explore. I am just so thankful spring is right around the corner and we can play outside more! He is full of energy and needs to burn it off!
My Toddler This Month? You may observe a spurt in physical development this month. Your toddler is likely to be surer on his feet, may love to climb all over the furniture, and can probably throw a ball underhand. He can also hold in his mind a clear memory of an object long after it's out of sight. Take advantage of this new capability by playing hide-and-seek with a favorite toy.
There may be days when all that physical energy is more than you can handle. Rather than fight it – after all, you can't change it – turn on some music, grab your little one, and invent some new dance steps together. For other ideas, see our list of toddler activities.
