Brian’s latest thing is to attempt something himself, and then proudly declare “I did it!” Examples from today:
1. He plugged in his usb Elmo mouse all by himself.
2. He went upstairs and swished around in the toilet with the swisher stick we use for his flushable diapers. (He was so proud that instead of telling him how oogied out I was that he was playing in the toilet, I let him flush and helped him wash his hands)
3. He put a piece of chalk into a marker cap and ran and found me so I could see this amazing thing.
4. He got a hold of the tv remote and restarted the Dora episode that just finished so they got to watch it again.
He is increasingly interested in doing “big kid” things, like washing his hands at the sink, drinking out of a non-sippy cup, going potty, playing with electrical outlets, and doing anything Marie does.
