Some More Jadon Tidbits

-Jadon can now go up and down the stairs by himself. He actually crawls up the stairs and he descends down the stairs on his belly (I'll have to catch that one on video).
-Jadon is our janitor. When we have trash (tissue, paper, teabags, dry sheets, etc) on the floor, we'll ask Jadon if he can throw it away in the trash can and he does. After he throws it away he double checks himself and looks in the can again.
-He likes to close the bathroom and laundry doors. He's starting to figure out how to open doors as well.
-He likes to conserve electricity and turn off the lights.
-When we wash Jadon's hand, he goes to get his stool/chair and brings it to the bathroom sink and steps right onto it.
-Jadon is still scared of ceiling fans. I have no explanation for this except that he could have seen something on tv a long time ago. The fan doesn't have to be moving and he gets scared. He starts to cling on to me really tight and he lays his head on my shoulder (sometimes he starts to burst out into tears). So now we have to avoid restaurants that have ceiling fans. The other day we went to a Marie Callenders and they had ceiling fans. We were just about seated and he starts to panic. Luckily they had a room with no ceiling fans and so we moved and once we were settled in, he was a happy, happy boy.
-Jadon is trying to be a real sneaky little boy. We'll put him in his crib for a nap. At times it can take him an hour or so to fall asleep. During that time we can hear him on our baby monitor babbling away or playing with his "doggie." Anyways, I'll go up to his room and open the door. Jadon will see me and he'll freeze (whether he is standing up or lying down) and pretend he is sleeping (but his eyes are still opening). The first time I caught him doing this he was lying down and when he saw me and just froze. Another time I caught him, he was standing near the rails and he was still standing but he dropped his head as if he was trying to fool me into thinking he was sleeping.
