Master Builder

One might think that a 24 month old would have a limited attention span. However, after observing Alexander in the last visit an interesting characteristic appeared. Alexander took six rubber blocks and stacked them one on top of the other until he built a tower. Then, he examined the tower to check for any blocks that might be out of alignment. He turned or rotated the tower or block to make the correction. Once the tower met his standards , he clapped his hands and said "Bravo!" I, too, clapped my hands and told him "Bravo!" He is the master of his craft and deserves lots of praise.
