*Stallone Tested and Approved:  Stallone had a blast exploring the sounds that different objects make.  He really enjoyed shaking the oatmeal canister and hearing the keys make noise.  We practiced making loud sounds and making quiet sounds with the objects.  When we walked outside, he heard some birds and some cars.  It was a great science lesson today!
