A Few Advances

Since Joash was still under the weather this morning when he woke up, I decided to keep him at home today. A few amazing improvements occurred.

1) While I was changing Jayna's diapers, Joash suddenly said that he wanted to go to the loo. I asked him to go by himself but I completely expected him to call out for help at some point. However, he came back to the room and said, "Finished already." I asked him if he flushed the toilet. He quickly ran back and I could hear the distant sound of flushing. He did it all by himself! Good job! After that, I did not bother accompanying him to the bathroom anymore when he wanted to go.

2) I was busy cooking our meals and Joash asked for me to wipe his nose which was leaking with mucus. I told him to do it himself. He climbed up the kitchen table, took a piece of tissue, came in front of me, wiped his nose and went to dispose of it in the dustbin, all without any prompting! Yet another piece of evidence to show how much he has grown.

3) While all three of us were playing. Jayna used my shoulder to pull to stand. Enraptured by some toy she discovered on the bed I was leaning against, she took her hands off me to examine it. So for a few seconds, Jayna was standing on her own! Both Joash and I noticed and applauded her feat. However, the moment Jayna realised what we were praising her for, her knees buckled and she sat down sheepishly. Great work, my girl!
