Self-sufficiency.

[hapersmion]

I went to go get dressed this morning, and when I came back, SAM had gotten himself some yogurt and eaten it. Then he had gotten himself a bowl, and was serving himself some ice cream when I came back into the kitchen. :) I told him he could get himself healthy foods whenever he wanted, but he needed to ask before having desserts. Later on, I went downstairs to plan lunch with hoshiadam, and when I came back, the boy had gotten himself some cheese and a very long, sharp knife (I think he got it out of the sink, the knife block is on top of the fridge for this reason), and hacked some chunks of cheese out of the middle of it for himself. :P So we had another talk about things he can do on his own... His reasoning was that since he didn't cut himself, it was okay. *rolls eyes*

Overall, though, it's nice that he's starting to be able to do these things on his own. I was especially impressed that the ice cream went into a bowl instead of straight onto the table - he didn't even eat it out of the container. :)
