On and In

Until the last week, Max has only taken things off or out. The blocks/shapes OUT of the container or the blocks OFF of the train or spike that held them. He has, just in these last few days, started putting things ON and IN. He put a block back ON the train a few days ago. He got so happy when I cheered him that he did it a few more times just for the glorious praise. Then, last night, he started putting the blocks back IN the container. I again gave him lots of praise and cheered and clapped and told him how great it was that he was cleaning up. I really did it up. He was so proud and thrilled he had to do it again and again, with the same block. Very funny!

Later last night, I was preparing a bath for him and turned around to find out that he had put the book he was carrying with him IN the toilet. To which he got a groan and a Max, we do not play in the toilet. LOL.

Ah, this child development is just truly amazing. This kid of mine is just truly amazing!
