The story of Jonathan turning out cupboards in the kindergarten is nothing new, but today was a first at home! Jonathan discovered the kitchen! And turned out the contents of a shelf full of plastic bowls.
I think he had lots of fun doing so, but once they were all out and scattered around him, he lost interest and crawled away...
Jonathan has a new habit of throwing out his pacifier when the ladies at the day care center try to put him to sleep. He throws the pacifier out of his sleeping pen and then calls for someone to pick it up. Only to throw it out again! I told them he also does that at home, but after one go I ignore it! Also I advised them to put the pacifier backing the pen when he sleeps because he likes to take it into his mouth in his sleep and so he stays in bed longer...
Jonathan has a new chair! A real chair to eat in! Its still a bit big for him, but it does the job! Now if he doesn't feel like eating anymore, he has a new signal of trying to squirm out of the chair! This means that until he has grown into it, he cannot! be left alone in it, even if he is tied in it.
Whenever I tie Jonathan into a chair, either to eat or in the car or stroller he is always protesting. I guess I can relate, no one likes being tied down... but this is for his safety. So, each time I dutifully explain that the belt is for his own good and even use some of Israel's newest drive safe slogans... that clicking (the car seat belt shutter) is cool! Or that we always drive with a seatbelt on...etc. You can never start too early...
