I have never left trays out for RockerTot until this week.  He now has three out at a time and he may choose to do them whenever he wishes.  He is also learning to put them back.  He's really doing much better than I had anticipated.  I'm working on placing many of his things at his level so that he can have a certain level of independence.  We also started potty-training this week... \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/thelintonacademy.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/rough-day-for-rockertot.html\"\u003Eread here\u003C\/a\u003E to find out why.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E----------------------------\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.accomplishate.com\/rockermom\/spinnersend\/wpfun\/scholartot.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"aka ScholarTot\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETransferring musical note erasers from the Dollar Tree and sorting them by color.
