New Stage

We have hit a new stage at our house. It is called "Independent Sean" and it can be wearing and exciting all in the same time.

The other day he was in a time out in his crib for hitting (the "wearing" part) and he was being awfully quiet, so I thought he was ready to come out. Low and behold, I walk in and there he is straddling the crib, swinging his legs, and smiling the biggest smile. I couldn't help but smile inside as I ran to get him safely down. I tried not to make a big deal about it, hoping he'd forget he'd done it. Wrong. His time outs are now on the chair in his room. At bedtime, he is usually too tired to goof around (as of right now), but daddy plans on changing it to the toddler bed very soon.

He loves to be outside and recently we took him to get pumpkins. He loves them. We got a quite a few and used them to decorate the front of our house. He calls them "apples" and rearranges them whenever he can! He also has discovered the moon, and he always wants to look at it and bring us with him. We read "Goodnight Moon" regularly and do many window checks. These would be the exciting times that we are having.

He is truly amazing! Although, I could do without the hitting! Where do they learn that!
