Nursery World - A month in the life of Harry Tobias (13)

Having eventually got used to the blood pressure cuff being pumped up on his arm at home, Harry had his blood pressure taken successfully this month. It was within normal parameters and his doctor is pleased and will continue to monitor it from time to time. Harry's language continues to develop well. He says 'drop' if he drops, throws or knocks things, and 'dut door' when pushing a door closed.

Harry's language continues to develop well. He says 'drop' if he drops, throws or knocks things, and 'dut door' when pushing a door closed.

Sometimes he opens doors simply to close them again while saying it. He says 'chactor' when he sees tractors going past the window to the farm next door.

Harry can now walk across a room from one person to another, holding up his arms for balance. He can also climb up and down the stairs, under supervision. He loves rough and tumble play with big sister Jasmine and is very tolerant of her boisterousness, giving a high-pitched squeal when he has had enough and needs rescuing.
