Freewalkin', cont.

Daniel's "free-walking" has increased dramatically today. It is a noticeable change. Although he has already learned how to do it, he hasn't had a lot of confidence yet. I noticed that he started free-walking a lot several days ago, while we were playing with his plastic blocks one afternoon. I also noticed, at that time, that he would could along with me: I'd say, "one block!" and he'd repeat after me, "wuh," then I'd say "two" and he'd say, "do!" Three was a bridge too far. He would also repeat a color after I did: I said "purple block!" and he'd say, "pur-pur."
