Goodnight Daddy


3 posts in one day--I must be avoiding some task.

Okay, I know this isn't the most flattering of photos, but it still cracks me up. He is starting to figure out the camera and today took his first picture. He likes to see it appear on the screen.

So "Aunt" Sharon B. stopped by this evening for a couple hours to hang out. Man, how did she know I needed a break? She hung with Eddie, and even fed him dinner--and he ate A LOT.

Tonight, we finished the bath early and I decided to get Eddie to pick up his own toys. I do this every now and then, but not consistently as I should. I handed him the legos to put away and then had him find the scattered legos and he discerned them from the other toys. I then had him put his toys in each of the drawers in the kitchen. I made sure to praise him a lot too.

I forgot 2 things I meant to mention on the 16 month update--he likes throwing things down the stairs -- I think to see what will happen--mostly goes for balls, but really anything that happens to be near the stairs and that strikes him. So I should be brushing his 3 teeth before bed, after milk. Not so good about that routine, but each morning, after I brush my teeth, I brush his--no toothpaste, but he opens his mouth for the toothbrush and patiently keeps it open as I brush them. Now to work that in the night-time routine.

Guess it's time to go work on whatever it is I'm avoiding--there are so many things, it's hard to pick just one.

Dad and I are delighted to hear that Eddie picked up his toys before going to bed.
