The Good News Is...

The good news is: Kiddo can take off his own jacket, sweater, and pants.
The bad news is: Kiddo can take off his own jacket, sweater, and pants...while we're trying to get out the door on time in the morning.

The good news is: Kiddo can open doors.
The bad news is: Kiddo can open doors. Cue the purchase of a security bar for the patio door.

The good news is: Kiddo likes to watch Singin’ in the Rain.
The bad news is: Kiddo wants to tap dance on the table. Thanks, Gene Kelly.
(And my two year old is already more cultured than I am.)

The good news is: Kiddo can fill his own water cup from the cooler.
The bad news is: Kiddo can fill his own water cup from the cooler, and dump it down his front. Have I mentioned Kiddo doesn’t like getting wet?

The good news is: Kiddo is happy to play in his room by himself.
The bad news is: His favourite time to do this is apparently one o'clock in the morning. Last night/this morning, I woke up to the sound of him running laps in there. When I opened his door he leapt into the bed and under the covers. I sense the development of a 'anything goes as long as I don't get caught' mentality.
