I a Big Girl, I do it By Myself

This summer Adilyn has really gotten much more independent, which is really great to watch, but it also pretty funny at times. I try to let her do as much as possible on her own, especially when we are not in too much of a hurry. Her favorite saying is, "No, Mama, I a big girl; I can do it by myself." Some other things she likes to say..."I be done in just a minute," and "I almost done." Those usually means that she is just stalling, though. The things that she has mastered lately - dressing and undressing herself, putting on her shoes, opening (and locking) doors, turning off lights, climbing in the car seat, getting her own water from the fridge, and dressing her baby dolls. Now, there are some problems with those skills. For example, the clothes are ususally inside out, and the shoes are usually on the wrong feet. I really don't understand how 90% of the time her shoes are on the wrong feet when she has a 50/50 shot of getting it right the first time! :)

She is so funny, and she seriously makes me laugh throughout the day! Her understanding of her getting older is a little confused. She keeps talking about how she can do it now "when I older", but she also talks about how she can play with Kacy's toys "when I younger again." When we are shopping for clothes, she always says, "Is this my age?" She means "size" :)
