Dayton's Corner of Boy Stuff



Since posting this blog, I've gotten so many comments from people about how grown up Dayton looks. It's true, he really does look like a little boy now and certainly acts like it! Lately he has become SO independent and at times becomes quite angry if you don't let him do something himself. He likes to climb into the car by himself now; though doesn't understand why he can't sit between the carseats! He makes his own Mac'n Cheese (with little direction) and some parental supervision with the microwave of course! He likes to pick out his own clothes some days (this I find frustrating because he will empty all his drawers in search of the "perfect" outfit). He likes to choose his own breakfast and has developed preferences for how he likes his food prepared. For instance, he no longer likes his bananas cut in half - he wants the whole darn thing...he gets mad if you rip his cheese strings up and likes to get it out of the package himself. I suppose it is all part of growing up, but as a parent, sometimes it is just so much easier and quicker to do things for him. I feel bad for Scott because I forget to tell him all these little things and Dayton will get mad at him when he doesn't do something they way I've started to let him do it.
