Hi Cally, MD and Cindy!

Alister is currently in bed asleep, and has been for 1hr which is really unusual for him. He has started this thing that he sometimes decides he's just had enough and wants to go to bed, so he will go and stand next to his cot holding onto his sheets till I put him in. Sometimes he will go to sleep, but most of the time he just wants a bit of time out, which is what I thought he wanted this morning but he ended up falling asleep LOL. I hear you all on the power of observation thing too, it's amazing how quickly they can pick something up and start doing it themselves. On the eating front we've now progressed to feeding oneself with a fork, and he will have it no other way LOL. He does pretty good too. I thought he was going to be like his big brother and be quite happy to be fed by someone else, but nope, now he has to do it.
