The sad thing is it has been hardest on me coming up with things Zach likes to do and things he can do........
Likes to do.....
- Likes to play with trains and cars
- Likes to play his version of peek-a-boo
- Likes to repeat things over and over ---- still working on wording of this - he can watch the same movie back to back 15 times - or he can run to a spot back and forth a million times
- Likes to mimic -- if he hears something he likes to repeat it over and over
- Likes to pretend play
Can do.....
- Climb (although motor planning hinders this from time to time)
- Kick a ball (although motor planning hinders this from time to time)
- Throw (although motor planning hinders this from time to time)
- Run (although motor planning hinders this from time to time - with lots of falling)
- Talk in 2, 3, 4 words (although motor planning hinders most of the time)

There is a book called Freight Train by Donald Crews. Simple...but focuses on colors. It might help with colors.
The lists look hard and long, but don't forget that CAN DO list...it's just as important!
We are also hoping for developmental preschool next year. I also have those weird feelings about it though. Feel free to email if you need to talk!
