Mr. Independent

Each morning while I take a shower, Jackson either reads books or watches a show in our bedroom. When I am in the shower, I like him in our room, so I can hear what he is doing. He is not allowed to leave the room until I get out of the shower.

So, the other morning, while I was in the shower he got up from reading his books and came in the bathroom. He said, "Mommy, I can go downstairs and get my juice?" I thought, how much trouble can he get in? His cup is on the couch in our family room. So, I told Jack he could get his cup, but he needed to come right back upstairs. A few minutes later, I got out of the shower and Jack was still downstairs. So I wrapped the towel around me and marched downstairs to help him find his cup. Well, this is what I saw when I went downstairs.I asked Jack what he was doing and here was his response. "Well Mommy, I opened the closet door and got my 'ladder' out. Then I moved it over here and climbed WAY up. I sat on the counter and got out my cup for apple juice! See I'm a big boy, Mommy!" After that response, I was trying so hard not to crack up and I told him he could only get his "ladder" out when I was around. I guess my little guy is growing up and a little more independent now.
