Once again, we find Kellen going through an independent streak. He needs to do everything all by himself....if I help him down from his stool that he has by the toilet, he gets upset, yells "NO!" and says he wants to do it all by himself from here (pointing to the stool); if we help him down from the counter (after we brush his teeth) he gets upset, yells NO!" and says he wants to walk to his room all by himself from here (pointing to a certain spot on the floor in the bathroom).....serenity now!!! Needless to say, we have to remind Kellen that yelling, whining and being rude are not allowed - So, he is apologizing and spending lots of minutes in time out! We are also trying to get him to calm down when he gets frustrated and "use his words"....which is definately getting better!
He is also into saying things to you, like "Do you like Dora?"..."Yes or No?"; "Are you hungry too?"..."Yes or No?" I think he may have gotten this from me....If Kellen doesn't answer me right away, I will ask him again and say "Yes or No, Kellen". I think he now thinks that you are supposed to say this after every question!

Can't wait to see you, Kellen - I hope I understand the questions so I can answer them. Such an independent little boy!
