Pants

Linus put his pants on all by himself for the first time.  He told me he wanted to go get pants by himself and that he wouldn't be lonely because his animals would keep him company.  Then he came back with this pair of jeans and he sat down and put them on by himself. I didn't have the heart to tell him he needed a pair of undies because he was proud of being independent and he can't reach them in the top drawer of his dresser.  (I guess it is time to move them down lower.) He was so excited that he took them off and put them on again a few times.  

Potty training is going okay.  Not too long ago he went a few days with a lot of accidents, but he is back on track and today had no accidents.

Linus is doing a great job of using his manners at home.  He says thank you without being prompted and even asks to be excused from the table.  His little voice sounds so cute when he asks, "May I be excused?"

Yesterday I bought gas ($3.15 a gallon) and while I pumped the gas I played peekaboo through two of the car windows. As we pulled away from the gas station he was still laughing and said, "Thank you for peeking at me."  Sure thing, kid; anytime.
