Independence

April 09, 2008

Alex’s note from daycare today:

Alex is really liking putting on his socks and shoes by himself. He is getting more and more independent every day. > >

I guess _independent _is one word for it. Some days, we’d probably use the phrase strong-willed instead.

I haven’t seen him get his shoes on by himself yet, but he does often try to put his socks on himself at home. It’s not always fast, and it usually takes a few tries, but it clearly makes him happy.
