Tied Tight Update

Yesterday I was telling Samuel what a milestone it was that he could tie his own shoes. After a fairly lengthy conversation about the meaning of "milestone", Samuel decided there were many, many things that showed he was growing up. Here is a list of "milestones" according to Samuel:
  • Picks out his clothes in the morning and gets dressed
  • Pours the cereal and milk for breakfast
  • Writes his own name
  • Opens the car door and buckles his own seat belt
  • Knows how to fast forward and pause the TV
  • Knows how to spell (I'll add that this is a total of 6 words: yes, no, mom, dad, Anna, Samuel)
I am sure the list is much longer but these are the important things to Samuel. My apologies for thinking tying shoes was the only worthy milestone.
