Charles has been starting to get insistently independent. As part of his effort at scaring his Dad he has been insisting on getting out of the van by himself. Since that’s about a one foot drop Charles has to jump down and his balance is not yet completely developed. It’s quite the experience to watch him.
This afternoon when we went shopping Mom put Charles in the van and he became very distraught. We didn’t figure it out until the next stop - Mom had put Charles in seat instead of letting him get in to the van and over to the seat on his own.
Charles has also decided that I shouldn’t babble at him anymore. He’ll reach over and put his hand over my mouth to make me be quiet. I don’t see why he gets to babble but I don’t. Kids.
