Some
Musings on Sean: 06/27/06
As promised I have posted a picture of Sean's first successful signature. The S and the N
are a little wobbly but it is still a huge accomplishment. The letter he was having the most
trouble with was the A. He used to make the letter A more like an @ sign until Ian suggested
that he should make the legs of the A "like a rainbow." That description really clicked with
him and he hasn't had any trouble since.
Another thing Sean is learning is his colors. He knows that red, blue and yellow mixed
together make brown; blue and yellow make green; yellow and red make orange. He sometimes
forgets that red and blue make purple but he'll figure that out soon. It doesn't take him
long to learn new things.
He has always been interested in music and musical instruments although recently he has
had a renewed passion for them. Mostly he's interested in how different instruments sound
and what they are called. Last night before bed, Ian pulled out his guitar and Sean was very
eager to try his hand a playing it (and tuning it). As a trade for the guitar (which is almost
as big as he is), Sean kept offering Ian his spoons. "You can play the spoons and I'll play
the guitar." If the two decide to jam again I'll try to get a picture of them.
