Who are you, and what have you done with my child?

This morning, Ash woke up (and he woke up dry, mind you!), went to the bathroom, went back to his bedroom and got himself completely dressed (except for closing the snap on his jeans, which is still really hard for him), and went downstairs to the living room….all without so much as calling for our attention.

We heard him in action, between the bells on his door and the baby monitor we still use.  We just waited to see what would happen.

Did that REALLY just happen?!

Half a month ago, he would still sit in bed, overflowing his Pull-Up, while calling our names between rounds of singing or scripting to himself.

Well, I guess this will distract me from the transitional change-over from him calling me Mommy to him calling me Mama.

      Tell me about it! Independence without all the skills that help you SURVIVE independence, is a scary thing (for Mommy and Daddy to think about)!

    Awwww, wow! But, yeah, I’m sure that independence is kind of scary… Praying for your sweet family!!

    That’s pretty dang amazing. Last year was the first year I could count on K to get herself dressed. I still have to TELL her in the morning what to do (go pee, get dressed, brush teeth, etc), but at least she can get her own clothes on. For some reason that one little thing makes the morning a lot easier. That I can just give her clothes and not have to put them on for her…(except for socks. Those are her kryptonite…ha)
