My wonderful child did some of the most helpful things today. After I let him out of his room this morning, I went to get a clean diaper. He ran ahead of me and plopped himself up on the couch and stretched out in the diaper-changing position. I praised him for this and for being calm and still while I changed him. As it turns out, every time I changed him today, he repeated this same trick. I couldn't be more thrilled! He also put himself down for his nap this morning. He decided he was tired, went and found his pacifier and Froggy, and I caught up with him just as he was climbing into his bed. What a good boy he is!
He got a little fractious at the track after I'd strolled him around for 2 miles. He'd been in the stroller quite a while, as he'd been confined while Gran and I took turns working out at the gym and then we immediately took him to the park to walk. I wanted to do another few laps but he was having none of it. He announced "want to walk track", so we let him out of the stroller and he walked a lap with us. He was very proud of himself, marching along, following the path, checking out the other walkers, periodically saying "Dennis walk track!". I hope to make this a routine, his walking a lap or two with us when we go to walk daily. I can't believe how well he did, with only a few little detours off the path (twice because he went to hug trees while saying "hey, tree").
