Jonathan has tried before, unsuccessfully, to fasten the snaps on his onesies. Part of the reason it's hard is that the more he bends over to concentrate, the more his back pulls on the back part, the tighter the snap is - if he tried to adjust his grip, he usually dropped it.
So today, I brought the tail around his side instead of under him, and that gave him enough slack to work with. Well, before that he had started out trying to snap two male pieces from the front together, and then said, "Help."

So once he had two pieces that would fit together he worked a little more, and then said, "Yay!" He got it! I exclaimed and gave him a big hug. Then he proceeded to unsnap and resnap, each time saying yay and throwing his hands up high, waiting for a hug from me. (:

Another similar accomplishment for today - he managed to open my shell-comb-hair-clip by himself. He had a lot of fun "biting" things with it, including my shirt, his chair, my elbow, his shoes, and anything else it would fit on.
