i'd been meaning to mention that since a couple of weeks ago, he's been able to chew raw fruit and veggies (like apples and sweet peppers) better. this probably coincided with all the molars. anyhow, i'm so excited to have someone in my family to enjoy salads with me one day soon.
the other day, i told mosey that it was time for a bath. he ran into the living room, so i thought he was disobeying, but i just repeated, "mosey, it's time to take a bath." he picked up his book, which made me think he was really disobeying, but then i just repeated it again. he took his book and walked it into his bedroom, put it back on his bookshelf, and then promptly made his way to the bathroom! he was cleaning up his things before moving on to the next thing! what?? of course, i understand that this may not last, but wow, this child is really unbelievable.
in other news, today, i was at work, reading a wiki page on relational aggression. when i got toward the bottom of the page, i read this definition of "victim defenders":
Victim-defenders are individuals who stand up for the victim. They are usually popular among their peers, although occasionally rejected and victimized adolescents take on the defender’s role. Defenders like to befriend other defenders and usually belong to the smallest social network of all other previously mentioned groups. Defenders have both advanced moral competence and high level of compassion. They also score high on the theory of mind tests. They are usually very morally engaged, have a high sense of responsibility, and self-efficacy. They are also good at emotion regulation.
it made me tear up, thinking about momo in this crazy world we live in, and hoping/praying that one day he can grow up to be a victim-defender.
