Isak

Isak is a funny little character. He is now 20 months and becoming a really big little boy. If he would start speaking he would be even more fun to be around. He still only says a few words like Mama, Tack (thank you), Bajs (poo). Mamma he says about 4000 times a day which is nice but gets a bit much at times. He says it when he is just walking around by himself, he says it when he points at something he wants to eat, he says it when he puts his hands up to daddy to be picked up etc etc. He is also a very neat and tidy child. He closes doors after himself, he picks up toys, he switches off lights when he leaves a room, he wants to clean up if he has made a mess, he wants to put clothes and shoes away properly and so on. The question is how to we keep these nice qualities in him for the rest of his life? I am afraid that we will, instead of encourage this behaviour take it away from him by doing all of this for him. Sometimes I don't have the energy and time to wait for him to do all his procedures so I just end up doing it for him. Hmmm. Have to get better at letting him do his things.
