After I topped off Charles’ sippy cup again, he wandered off into the media room and found an old sippy cup. He picked it up, took it into the kitchen and put it up on the counter with the dirty dishes. He seemed very proud of himself afterwards. Now he’s putting all of the toy cars scattered across the sofa back into their container. Corwin went through a phase like that as well, but unfortunately they get over it in a couple years.
Update: Charles is really moving forward on the development scale this morning. He was playing with his lego’s, building a very tall car when he turns to me and says “dope is bus”. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard him form sounds that map to actual (multiple) words. After I got him dressed, he was trying to put his pajama bottoms back on. He knew that the stretchy bit at the end needed to be opened and put over his foot, although he wasn’t clear that the foot goes in the open side, not the side attached to the leg. But that’s just an implementation detail.
