Santiago at Play

Santiago is a very busy guy. He attends classes and playdates throughout the week. Often he has a social commitment in both the morning and afternoon. Being sick has meant spending more time at home which reveals some of his favorite activities. Right now he is pouring macaroni from one plastic cup to another. Putting and moving things into other things is a favorite pastime.

Santiago also likes to play Candyland. The rules are pretty free form and involve putting the gingerbread man pieces onto the board and knocking them over and sorting through the cards. All colors remain blue when asked "What color is that?" But Santiago can say red, yellow and purple when asked to repeat the words. Yateze is another favorite. It is pronounce "Yat-yat" by Santiago and he enjoys putting the dice into the cup and rolling them out.

Santiago enjoys feeding his fish in the morning and when the fish bites a piece of food Mom & Santiago shout "chomp." Playdough and puzzles are liked. He likes to roll rolls of tape around.

Santiago really likes to have books read to him.
