I know, it's the small things that sometimes makes us the happiest...LOL! Ethan has struggled with zippers forever, and he FINALLY got it a couple of days ago and zipped up his own coat!!!! Hooray! I was doing the happy dance around the kitchen, and the first thing out of his mouth was "OK, I get McDonalds?"
Of course he did get McDonalds!
So, some of this lesson is for the moms of the little kids. Honestly, I thought he'd never get socks figured out, and he absolutely refused to try for the longest time, saying he couldn't do it, and I finally realized that he never WAS going to get it if I kept doing it for him. DUH! Now he can everything on by himself - socks, underwear, jeans, shirts, snowpants, boots and coat AND zip them up.
And the best part? He is SO proud of himself.

She also "can't" do up her jeans - and if I don't do it, she just leaves them open :/ We will have a reckoning someday on that
