* Two days ago, Tristan unraveled his very first roll of toilet paper. I tried my best to completely ignore the activity (no giggles, no attention, no cleanup) in hopes that it will extinguish faster that way. I know it builds motor skills but it will suck if we have to keep toilet paper on lockdown. 🙂

* We went to the pool today and Tristan had a lot of fun splashing and kicking until he got chilly, and then he just snuggled me while I walked around. Afterward, he sat quietly with me and played with my keys while I chatted. For about half an hour. He doesn’t sit still indoors, but when he’s outside he’s just mesmerized by this weird environment, perhaps.

* He’s still walking up a storm in his room and doing it occasionally everywhere else. I’m sure the fact that I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when I see his head getting close to concrete doesn’t help things. He feels confident on cement.. I wish he’d stay on the grass. The stresses of being a parent of a newbie walker!
