I was nursing the baby yesterday afternoon and Alex was asking for juice. "I just want some jUUUUUUUICE!" After about the sixth "Bud, you'll have to wait until brother is done eating", Alex decided to take matters into his own hands. He went into the kitchen, opened up the fridge and got an apple juice out, he marched triumphantly back into the family room, juice in hand and announced "I have juice!". Until that moment, I had no idea he could open the fridge.
I told John this story when he came home from work. "You know what that means?" He asked me. "We have to put a lock on the fridge?" I reply, "No way! Now he can get me beer!"
OMG! It runs in the family! Joe will be so proud of his son and grandson.
ReplyDeleteThe real milestone is when he turns 21 and you send him to buy your beer. That was Joe's favorite.
This is too funny! Almost the same thing happened when I discovered that Grant could open the fridge. I was amazed that he could do it. Then I thought to myself "I wonder what other things my son can do that I dont know about?" I decided I was going to push him to do things for himself so that he wasnt so dependent on me. He dresses himself and gets his own water bottle out of the fridge ocassionally I will let him pour a glass of milk by himself. He even wipes his own ass! I dont think Alex is ready for that though. LOL I found it was amazing how much Grant could do if I just LET him.
