I can do so many things all by myself.

I have mentioned before that I was a Big Boy. Being a Big Boy means doing so many different things all by myself. I get my own milk cup out of the fridge at meal time, I use my stool step all of the time to get things off of the counter or help myself to a snack and apparently I have to start going to the toilet instead of going in my diaper soon too.

Today I got an orange off the counter and the citrus peeler and tried to peel an orange all by myself.

The other night for dinner I helped Daddy make pizza. It wasn’t all by myself but it is still something I couldn’t do before I was a Big Boy!

I still have naps, and I do have them all by myself in my Big Boy bed but sometimes I have a short nap, and then lie down with Mommy in her bed. Really, I do it for her benefit.

The other day we went to the fire station and the fireman let me climb up into the trucks! I can drive a fire truck all by myself! Well, pretend anyway.

Being a big boy means I can climb, run and jump a lot better now too.

First week of school

This past week I started pre school. My school is called Sunshine Montessori. I have 4 teachers, and I know all of their names! School is fun but I had a little bit of an adjustment period. On Monday I said good bye to Mommy no problem but then didn’t realize that she would be leaving for that long! Everyday got easier as we got into our routine and I now know that after snack and some more activities, we go outside to play and I can see Mommy drive up in the red car to pick me up to go home for lunch. Mommy and Daddy say they are very proud of me and that I was very brave this week. I heard Mommy tell Gramma on the phone that I did a good job and got used to school really quickly. Thurs and Fri were fun! Only I know how this coming Monday will be after having the break over the weekend!
