Mr. Independent is getting even more self-sufficient; tonight he was thirsty and I guess I was not jumping fast enough when he called, so he moved the chair to the fridge, filled his cup with ice, and then water. He then brought it over to me and together we drank his ice water. He then decided ice makes better blocks, and proceeded to decorate the living-room with ice. I asked him to help me put them in the sink, and he did.
