I am trying to get John to become a little more independent. We started the chore chart a few weeks ago. That has helped to teach him responsibility. This week I have been having John dress himself. He is doing a pretty good job. He does have a tendency to ask for help. Daddy and I repeatedly tell him that he can do it without assistance. Tonight when he kids were in the bathtub he asked “Mommy, can you put Phineas and Ferb on the surfboard?” I told him no and explained that he could do it. He tried for like ten seconds and gave up. “Don’t be angry. You need to help people. That’s what everyone is supposed to do. I helped Gillian before. You could help me now!”
