Anthony loves Otter Pops®.  And that would be fine, but never before has his motivation to eat something been sufficient to go after it himself.  He also loves oranges, for instance, but he has never opened the refrigerator to take any out.  But not only does he open the freezer--thankfully, he closes it afterward--and take Otter Pops out, but he grabs scissors and cuts the top of the plastic package so he can get at it.

I could applaud Anthony for his ingenuity, but he doesn't stop at one.  Nor will he stop at three.  The other day, when no one was paying particular attention to him (each of us being occupied with something else or being out of the house), he helped himself to eight of them.

He is also learning to operate the DVD remote on his own.  Until recently, he only knew how to open the player and insert a DVD, so he was stuck if there were no autoplay feature.  Not any more.  He has figured out how to start the movie with the remote. 

So the question for me is, can we teach him more?  I don't know.  But I could certainly use help mowing the lawn.
