Lessons

Eddie is reading one of his favorite books--about a bear named Corduroy. In the picture below, he is pointing to the ducks as prompted.

Things we have learned/come to realize:

Eddie has learned how to lift the lid on his diaper pail. This wouldn't be so bad, but he used the same lifting technique to lift the toliet seat as it was flushing and stick his hand in. Ewww, gross. Additionally, he likes to put things in the diaper pail and trash cans around the house. I can't wait to learn what we lose to this practice of putting things in the trash. Hopefully nothing major.

I don't know if this is just a natural development thing, or my kid just has an arm, but last night he was flinging food from the kitchen into the dining room (8 feet or so from where he was sitting).

Eddie can climb out of the tub. This was demonstrated a couple weeks ago. He also likes to play with the stopper in the tub and watch as things get sucked down towards the drain.

A one-month old baby girl can pee just as stealthly as a one-month old baby boy. As demonstrated by the baby girl we watched for friends. When I went to pick her up, I actually wondered why there was a pool of wet under her.

Eddie can help with the laundry. Really. He puts the clothes that don't need to be folded into the basket--I just have to hope there are enough of this type of item per load to keep him occupied.

Just a couple thoughts to have something to go with the text.
