Dare I venture to say out loud that we may be turning a corner? Chase was an absolute champion tonight at the pool. He walked up and down the ramp. He ate his dinner without a fuss and sat in his high chair for at least 30 minutes literally shoveling mac and cheese (and chicken fingers and curly fries and lasagna) into his mouth and never once had a meltdown about getting down even though we were getting dangerously close to his bedtime. Between this and the meltdown-free dinner experience at Doug and Leslie's over the weekend, I am beginning to think that one day soon we will be able to enjoy a full meal with BOTH kids present without one of us having to leave dinner early to get Chase home and in bed. Woo hoo!!!
Even better than that, however, was what occurred after dinner. LEGITIMATE WALKING!!! Twenty-two steps in a row without falling, holding onto anything or just freezing in place. And not once, not twice, but three different times (interesting that 22 steps is the magic number every single time). He was the highlight of the pool and was just beaming!
I can't remember a better night. (I seem to be saying that a lot lately.)
