This past weekend, we decided to decorate the house for Halloween. So, up I go into the attic and pull down the two boxes of Halloween decorations. JJ comes and asks "What are you doing dad?" I tell him I am going to decorate for Halloween outside. He decides he wants to help, so I tell him he has to put his shoes on first and then he can come help. The shoes were on in no time at all. While outside I tell him that daddy needs a stool. Go ask mommy for a stool. I know I repeated this phrase about 3 times. He runs inside and a few minutes later I see him struggling to bring something out the door, it is one of the little chairs that goes with his little Wiggles table he sits at in his room and uses the chair to help climb to get things he is not really supposed to be getting to. I bust out laughing from being so happy he thought about this solution by himself. Turns out he never asked mommy at all. I tell him Thanks tons of times and use his chair to hang the ghost in the tree. When I am done he takes his chair and struggles to get it through the door back in the house. Sometimes when I see him presented with a challenge, I give him a few minutes to see how he will solve it or if he will come get someone to help. He carries the chair to the door and then looks up at the door handle. He looks over at me and I act like I am busy and do not notice him looking. He manages to open the door and starts carrying the chair in, but realizes the door is trying to close on him. He backs up a step and is holding the chair with both hands, and preventing the door from closing with his back. He then looks back at me and asks, "Hold the door pease" (sometimes he has trouble with the "l" in the word "please". I run over and hold the door and he says thanks. When he comes back out I tell him Thanks for the chair and on his own without the "What do you say" prompt, he says "welcome". Those 10 minutes made me so happy all day long it was a Grand Day!
