Who Knew?
I decided to help John with his fine motor skills by teaching him to use scissors. I was struggling with the task so I found a video on-line and John figured it out by watching the video. I had no intention of him seeing the video, he is just nosy. Soon, he was cutting fairly well. He can use the scissors with either hand. I am beginning to suspect that his motor skills are not the problem, I think he just doesn't like his special ed teacher for some reason. I don't know why. If the behavior continues, I may have to request that he work with the younger lady that he was making flirty eyes at or just someone else. It's a shame because I do like her. However, I am digressing. I told my mother about what we were doing and she wanted to know what I did "that" for. "That" being teaching John to use scissors when I already knew that he liked to rip paper into tiny microscopic pieces. I told her that he isn't exactly all that great with cutting paper so if he is working on something he needs help with while doing something he likes, I am happy. Well, today my floor was covered in tiny pieces of paper. I vacuumed it all up only for it to accumulate again. Who knew my mother would come up something sane?
When he gets better with holding the scissors correctly, I will teach him to cut out specific shapes. Until then, I may be buried underneath a mountain of scissored paper.
Only John could make duck lips look cute.

I do not know who you are but definitely you're going to a well known blogger in case you aren’t already All the best!
Airlines often sell airfare tickets defined as "non-refundable.
Great, thanks for sharing this blog post.Much thanks again. Really Great.
those are adorable pictures he's just adorable.
yes kids do learn by watching it done. He's smarts all, probably real smart.
I love those sexy sunglasses. Yeah the duck lips are too funny. What a joy, no?
He's such a cutie! I love his outfits.
@RushmoreJ - his cousin is an even bigger flirt.
@hidemeunderyourbed - lol. he loves making faces. I guess because we make faces at him all the time.
@alwaysmommy87 - I've created a paper cutting monster. He told me that he was going to tell his teacher that he got to cut paper at home since they aren't allowed to cut paper at school.
He is a cutie pie! Matthew doesn't do well with scissors yet either and they started practicing more in his PreK program. He will cut right for about two minutes and then he chops at everything.
Haha! See that he's already practicing his Facebook poses.
Flirting already at his age. Look out!
He's so cute, but you're going to have to protect your hair now.
