As a result, we spent time with William this morning on two important tasks:
1. Reading the sports page of our local paper. This means William will learn the key cricket players since, of the three pages in the sports section, fully two are devoted to cricket. We'll see how long it takes for William to recognize the faces of the Master Blaster (aka Sachin Tendulkar) and MS Dhoni, India's top two players. Or how long it takes him to identify the uniforms of the various national teams (today we talked about India, Pakistan and Australia).
2. Even more important, learning how to make the "hook 'em horns" sign with his hand. William only recently has had enough small motor control to hold up more than his thumb or first finger. Holding up the first and pinky finger simultaneously was quite a challenge, but after about 20 minutes he was almost there. I think he should have it perfected by the time Nana and Grandpa Bob visit in December - Gmo and Grandpa Tod will have to help him practice when they visit.
