He needed my help to spread the miracle whip and separate the cheese slice. Other then that he did it all on his own. He was so proud.
He seems to have these moments of clarity ever now and then. I just wish I knew why.

I wish I knew why
This morning we went to a friends house for a play date. The kids played so hard. On the ride home Amelia fell asleep and Oliver and I chatted about what he should have for lunch. I mentioned a turkey sandwich and he exclaimed "that's a great idea, mom." Oliver followed me in the house and while I was laying Amelia in her crib he took off his coat and boots. He normally does that but today he also took the keys out of the lock, shut and locked the door and use a chair to hang the keys on the key hook. Then he opened the fridge and took out all of the supplies needed for his turkey and cheese sandwich. He sat at the table and tried as hard as he could to make his own sandwich.

Way to go, Oliver! He's getting so grown up.
"That's a great idea, Mom"--I can't wait to hear that:) WooHoo Oliver!!
Because children are like florescent lights...you turn them on (birth), it takes a bit to warm up (infants), then you get a flicker of light (toddler) that gets brighter (preschooler) and brighter until it's full-on.
you're not only teaching him well, you're also being a great example for him so when he tries to do something, he does it the way mom does. :)
