Jon and Amber

I tried to help him climb stairs a few weeks ago and he just didn’t quite “get it” – but tonight he approached them all by himself and lo and behold, he’s suddenly a pro!

Visual proof:

He got all the way up to the landing before i stopped him (he was trying to eat every little leaf and piece of dog hair he found along the way.) Nevertheless, we are so proud! (Of the climbing, not the debris-eating.)

The project, in process:

The comparison – old tiles, new vinyl:

Edited to add:
Oh, and just for the sake of history, here’s what the carpet looked like before we pulled it up to reveal the ugly tile (this picture is a couple years old):

Almost forgot about this, but I had to share! I brought Jeremy to the office for a couple hours last Friday. He made a lot of new friends and had a fun time crawling up and down the hallways and yelling at the cars on the freeway, which he got to see from the 3rd floor window. Very exciting stuff!

He even helped me with some filing. What a good little worker!

On Saturday we had pizza for supper. Jeremy got a corner of crust with a little sauce on it. He loved it!
