Debbie, thanks for your input.
I always thought he had good core strength. He rolled over (back to front) the day after he was born because he spent so much time arching his back before he was born. He takes gymnastics and seems to be pretty strong...
However, you pegged him almost exactly. When he falls he does seem to throw himself to the ground then either says, "I'm all right!" or he claims somebody tripped him. He sits with one leg touching the ground on a chair that's too big. He's a messy eater, but he can handle a fork and spoon okay. His knife skills could use some work, though. He can blow out candles, blow bubbles, suck from a straw, and blow his nose.
He doesn't eat a lot of meat, but he eats a lot of peanut butter. He's not very big, and someone once told me that the only thing that would keep him from growing taller (other than genetics or illness) is lack of protein, but she seemed to think he was getting enough from peanut butter. At that point, PB&J was the majority of his diet. He's cut down some, but he still averages 1 sandwich a day.
I'll have to observe his cutting more closely. I was thinking he could put his shoes and socks on in the middle of the room, but now that I think about it, he usually does it in the doorway.
The more I read, the less I think he has dysgraphia, but we'll see what the experts decide.
