He has learned to climb in and out of chairs very well. He's mastered his Cracker Barrel rocker, and now has turned his sights to the rocking chair in his room. It's an adult-sized rocker, and it's a special one. This is the chair his Grandma rocked his Daddy in as a baby, and it rocked David's sister and cousins. We have rocked Dennis in it. And now he can climb into it with no assistance and rock himself silly, and then get back out of it with no assistance. He's so proud! He walks over to it and rocks it forward with his hands on the handles, facing the chair. He reaches as far as he can and grabs hold of a side rail in each hand. He rocks the chair down lower and hikes a knee onto the chair. Then he grabs the slats on the back of the chair and hauls himself the rest of the way up. He stands up briefly, holding on to the back, then turns around. He sits down, rocks the chair, and claps his hands to celebrate his accomplishment. Next, he immediately scoots his rear end to the front of the chair, grabs the side handles, and gently eases himself out of the chair to a standing position on the floor. He walks a lap around his room, returns to the chair and repeats. And repeats. And yes, it is as cute as it sounds.
