With yo-yo weather once again warm he has exposed arms and legs which provide good traction on the leather couch, thus he has no need for a step stool.

Dad is convinced that, at this age, this kind of determination cannot be taught. A child either has it or does not. Fortunately EJ does. For awhile Dad was concerned that he did not because he gave up too easily. There was an instance when he encountered difficulty and decided to go and do something else rather than persist.
A strong will is a double edged sword. A child can use that will to accomplish remarkable feats, but can also use that will to defy parents. Dad would rather have strong willed child needing a rigorously structured environment to tame that will rather than a child of mild spirit.
Dad is happy for you Buddy.
