Ok, so first I am really excited about all the new things that Malcolm can do all of a sudden. It is just like part of him just woke up and bloomed. Suddenly he is helping me wash the dishes, while standing on a stepping stool, carrying water and helping clean his new little potty, walking to everyone in church and shaking hands during greeting time all by himself, and so much more.
Today he stunned me in church. He stood up when everyone else stood up, sat down when they sat, sang when they sang (in his own language of course) clapped when they applauded and added his own little "yay!" to the end of each song. The amazing thing though was watching him walk around shaking hands.
I am posting a picture of him this morning. I left his left toilet in the sun to dry after we scrubbed it down together ( he even washed it with his own little sponge), but when he saw it he just went back to the tub of water outside and started washing it again. I didn't want to discourage him from cleaning so I took a picture.
It is good that he is learning to clean because on the downside THIS KID HAS BEEN PEEING ON EVERYTHING! That is driving me crazy. He takes off his diaper and pees. He sleeps in his diaper and soaks through a diaper and liner and wrap and sheet and mattress. He gets undressed to take a bath, but first pees on the bathroom floor. I have had to wash so many things I am losing my mind. I don't mind messes-art, food, water, juice-no problem. Pee pee-yuck!
