(HBOT 19) Such a Good Helper

When I got home today, Jonathan was already home with Abuita waiting for me. He wanted to play with his Leapster toy, but it is broken (the touch screen is not working) and had a meltdown. I was able to get him to stop, changed him and told him that we had to leave at 5:20pm. That got his attention. He told me that he wasn't going to cry anymore and that he was Mickey Mouse. From then on, he was Mickey.

HBOT Day 19

Today's dive was uneventful. We watched Curious George and the time went by quickly. I believe the air blowing into the hood bothers him because he keeps trying to scratch his eyes though the plastic. But he tells me every time I ask him that he is okay.

On the way home, we stopped at BJ's to buy food. He was in a great mood. He got into the cart and I pushed. Everything I wanted to put inside the cart, he asked if he could take it (milk, juice, cheese, etc.) He was so proud of himself every time he grabbed one item and put it into the cart. Later, he decided he wanted to get down and push the cart. We finished picking the items and walked to the register. As we are walking, he told me that he didn't want to crash (I kept telling him to watch out because he was running into things) and he became very coordinated, watched every inch and did not run into anything.

He loves to handle the cash register. So I told him what buttons to push and he learned that he had to check where the barcodes were so the scanner could read them. He was so happy. I was so happy to see him to happy.
