Little Z is developing his own unique personality.
He will ask to go to nursery now, and ask to wear his gorilla T-shirt.
He takes his little stool and sets it up in front of the fridge (which he can now open - gasp!) and then he starts selecting what he wants.
He reads his little books as he turns the pages.
He tells short stories to narrate our lives in real time.
Now that he can get into any kitchen cabinet, despite the child lock, I have had to rearrange the location of some things - especially my cleaning sprays.
He clearly tells me when he doesn't want something or doesn't want to do something.
He also dictates who gets to strap him in the car seat and who pushes his stroller (if he agrees to get in it).
At the supermarket, it's now a hassle to get him to sit in a shopping cart. He wants to 'walk.' This can mean a quick grocery trip takes forever! The best I have managed is to negotiate sitting in the basket part of the cart. But he will often stand. Today I actually bought him a book so he could 'read' while I picked up some items.
Tonight he kept us up chattering and singing and complaining. I had to repeat the song "Polar bear polar bear what do you hear" based on the Eric Carle book I had bought him earlier (otherwise he throws a fit and at 9:30pm, I give in to any fit - just let me sleep!)
He finally rested on our bedside table saying "I so tired," and fell asleep on its cool glass surface.
