size does matter

When Callum had his 18 month check up, according to "the book" one of the things to be ticked off was his ability to build with blocks. Callum has plenty of blocks but doesn't like putting them together, so he did not achieve that tick. What Callum is interested in is lining things up. He lines up anything he can get his hands on - empty bottles that he takes out of the recycling bin, his toys, his outside toy trucks. He doesn't just line them up, he lines them up in size order! We were told that was clever, but he still hadn't achieved the milestones that he should have (the blocks) According to the book of Callum, lining things up in size order is a much more important skill. So is reading books, chasing cats, playing music, jumping on a trampoline, climbing, and much, much more :)
