Amid being sick (all that I've been talking about for weeks, it seems), Charlie started to recycle aluminum cans, all on his own and just from watching us. We had been trying to show him to place them in a bag we have for recycling, rather than tossing them in the garbage; I had a feeling that being told to do this was evoking some cognitive dissonance in Charlie and was not insisting on it. (When is trash not trash....)Then about 2 weeks ago, Charlie started recycling on his own, sua sponte.
Tuesday he had a great morning at school and then got upset at lunch; am suspecting his stomach is still acting up. Yesterday's rain had washed away almost all the snow and he enjoyed a bike ride, handled not getting a burrito well, went for a very fast-paced walk and then spent the rest of the evening mostly in his room, listening to his iPad and smiling when I brought him a drink of water.
