A Mind Of His Own

Who told my son he could think for himself? Over the course of the past few weeks he has learned to climb the stairs himself, walk around new places himself, and even open the refridgerator by himself. He has figured out how to stick DVD's into the VCR. He has learned that spinning himself around in circles is fun and makes him dizzy. Those wooden puzzles with the picture pieces with peg holders? Nathan knows how to match up the puzzle piece with the right picture and put it neatly into the slot. But the one thing I have expressly forbidden is standing on the couch. My mom asks why, because I let the dog walk on the couch, so why not the kid? Because the kid is unstable and could (and has) go diving off headfirst onto the floor. So Nathan's favorite way to get my immediate attention?
