Trio's developing motor skills are starting to amaze me. Thursday of last week I had taken a shower and left him watching "Handy Manny" (or some other show that entertains him for the fifteen minutes that it takes me to take a shower). I come out and there is baby powder all over his legs and the carpet and he's grinning, holding the upside down baby powder container. I pretty much figured Albert just forgot to close it all the way and left it at that. Until a couple of days later we found the Neosporin top off the tube.
So Trio can unscrew tops off tubes. Any tube apparently if he tries hard enough because he did it to his sunscreen yesterday. Yes I owed Albert an apology because it could have well been he did close the baby powder it just was no match for the masterful Trio. Now I have to watch him around everything that has any kind of screw top so just think off all that entails including soda, lotions, etc. I didn't know that children could master that skill at this young of an age.
He is also starting to be a daredevil. He tried to jump off the couch the other day and like to give me a heart attack. We have low couches but still jumping off of something at that size would hurt a little. Luckily he only wanted to bounce on the edge of the couch which is what he has been doing a lot of lately (yay me) but I know how boys are so this is a warning to me to really start watching him because it only promises to get more daring from here on out. I've heard Albert's stories plus friends so I know how boys are.
He is also starting to sign a little more which I think is awesome. He ha already been signing "more" and "please" but now he can do "water". We're also starting on "kiss" among other things. I like it because not only does it help before he can speak but it is kind of an homage to the memory of my Granny (who would have been his Big Granny) because she knew sign language and even taught at the Texas School for the Blind and Deaf for awhile. It was one of those bittersweet moments when the family saw he could sign a little because we all knew Granny would have been proud to see that.
So far the second year in the life of Trio has been very interesting. We only have 4 months until we reach two. It makes me sad to think about it but I know that we will have even more fun next year.
*Remind me of this post when we're knee deep in the "Terrible Twos" and I want to tear my hair out*
