Tristram learned to stand up on his own. I am given to understand that most babies learn to stand before they learn to walk, but not this one. He still pretty much depends on pulling up, then letting go and walking. When he tries to stand, he does it with one foot planted and the other leg kneeling, and that doesn't really work. He ends up pitching forward, and he'll travel around the room like that in sort of a frog-hop.
But now, he has a new trick. He has figured out that if he want to pick something up while he's walking, the best way to do it is to squat down and stand back up. The other day, it finally clicked that also works for just plain standing up. He looked at me curiously, and did it about ten times in a row, then shrieked with delight. By the next morning, he had forgotten again. But he's getting there.
Today is farm day!
I want to stay because there are so many great activities he's not old enough for, and I want him to get the chance to do them.
I want to leave because Jonathan hates his job.

Pat sez: With prominent ears like that, he could be the new (less blue-eyed) James Bond. Or the next Barack Obama. Lessee, who else is the news?
