Calvin Tyler: October 2016

He thinks he's hysterical (and he's mostly right)

Only 12 days late with this post...oops!

We can call this month the month of milestones I'd be ok if Calvin took a while longer to meet. These include:
- unzipping and taking off his coat. For the most part, this one is ok as it is pretty helpful that he can unzip and take off his jacket when we get inside the house. Not so nice when he unzips his jacket and tries to take it off the second we get inside anywhere. I would really prefer him to leave it on while we get groceries.
- opening doors. He's an expert at ones that are handles instead of knobs. You know, the ones that are ADA compliant so they are on all family restrooms. So glad he's learned these! He's also getting pretty close with door knobs in our house. He's successfully opened his own door a couple of times. The doors to outside will take him quite a while yet.
- taking off his own diaper. So far he can only get off the cloth ones and can't take his pants off yet, so we're safe for a while!

We still aren't seeing much changes with his speech. Caleb sure is trying to get him to say all sorts of words, but no such luck.

Calvin had fun at both USD football games we've ventured to this fall. He really likes the popcorn, band, and apparently the bathrooms. During both games he made multiple trips to the bathroom and miraculously kept his diaper dry from 11:00 in the morning until bedtime that night. I'm sure the people sitting next to us weren't near as excited about Calvin's frequent trips to the bathroom!

Oh, and don't even think about telling Calvin he's not as big as his brother. He thinks he is! He even attempts to stay at preschool every single time.
