Criss-Cross

Zack has declared his independence. He no longer allows me to help him put his shoes on, or to "do them up". If I even get near him when he's trying to do his shoes he screams "I do it! Zack do it!" So I now leave him alone, and silently count to 10 while it takes him 5 minutes to get each shoe on! LOL Anyhow, this is a picture of how Zack likes to do the velcro straps on his Vans.
I just put his new shoes on him this morning (I had to fight to do it - the bus was here) and they have 3 velcro straps, so I'm interested in seeing how creative he gets with those! LOL

Jen,
I'm Rachael's cousin in California (Her dad and my mom are brother and sister). Thanks so much for your supportive and encouraging words! Sometimes I feel so helpless in this process and it's hard to just wait. Thanks for letting me know that there are others out there that have made it through. I have so many questions! My email is Jellybean@surewest.net if you are open to emailing me. Thanks again for reaching out. Your words really helped me today!
Very Sincerely,
Jenean

I can totally relate. Emma and Jake did the same thing. I can't wait for Brandon to start doing that. NOT!!

It is cool that he wants to be independent. My boys love to be waited on, so I am trying to inspire them to be more independent. Wish me luck! :)
