Last time we tried pasta threading, Joshua didn't really get it and didn't enjoy it. However, recently he has gained new ground in manual dexterity. Yesterday I woke up to Clara crying and, upon investigation, Joshua had defeated our door knob covers, gone into his bathroom and poured lots of water on the floor and then gone into Clara's room and woken her up by dumping a cup of water on her head. It was not delightful and I got about two gallons of water out of the carpet with our steam cleaner (highly recommended purchase for any parent or pet owner). So though the ability to open all doors is pretty disappointing, it shows how much he is learning and he definitely has much better fine motor control than he did just a few weeks ago. He did pretty well with threading the pasta this time. At the end I tied it into a bracelet for him, but he didn't really understand that and kept asking me if he could break it.
