Fine motor play

We have been picking up our constructive play lately. Our focus is fine motor. We are trying to encourage upper body strength and it is working bc he can finally open the fridge door! Rumor has it that upper body weakness also leads to decreased fine motor. We "make" him open the fridge and get his "almond juice"(carrying the heavy container) every time but he doesn't mind that! We also play "beans" (just doing different activities with dry beans), paint, play dough and our new puzzle! I can see a difference already! And of course we let "E" (Ansley; sometimes we call her Ansie so that's what Caleb calls her now) in on some of the action!
