What has Kono been up to?

Kono did this train puzzle mostly by himself. I just guided him through and asked questions and he put the pieces together. He is liking puzzles now that he is getting older. I like that it makes him think. Here he is fixing it after it was all put together and he tried to pull the train. He said "Dang it" when it broke. Woops, he got that from me :(


Here he is all proud of his hard work.

Other things that Kono has been up to are:
Wanting to do everything himself! This makes things that can happen in a couple of seconds end up being more like a couple of minutes but I'm glad cause he's learning and becoming independent.
He loves to dress himself most of the time. This morning he changed out of his pj's into his clothes for the day with his "training pants" on and short cuts on backwards. He looked so cute but I never did take a picture. He is also doing pretty good with potty training. He does it all on his own about 85% of the time. I am so proud of him because a couple of months ago, I thought there was no hope. And if you know Kono, he doesn't like to eat, but he'll guzzle drinks in a flash and constantly soak his diapers. It is now changing, he eats more and drinks a bit less. He uses the potty numerous times throughout the day and it makes me worried if he can do this away from home.
Two funny things he said recently: I spilled my makeup bag and he willingly helped me pick up the cosmetics. He got the blush and told me to put it on my eyebrows. I started laughing and he said "Make yourself nice-nice, all pretty!" That was so funny, I never told him that makeup makes me pretty, how did he know? Maybe he recognizes the difference when I have no makeup on. Hahaha.
The other thing was that I took out a bin to look at his baby clothes. He saw one outfit that he really wanted to put on. He tried and tried and I told him repeatedly that it's too small, and that it's for his brother now. He pulled up my shirt and said very frustrated "How do you do this?" trying to find a way to open up my belly. I said "What are you doing?" He said he wanted to climb in my belly and grow so that he can be a baby again. Ahhhh, poooor Kono!
