Well that says it all, I do it all by myself. My daughter Aunika seems to be getting bigger and bigger by the day. My favorite thing to see from Aunika is some independence as she gets older. Aunika's independence has gone to the extreme at times and other times I don't understand why she needs help!
For example; when getting dressed in the morning there is no helping her. She loves to pick out her own clothes and put them on. I am not sure how she picks out some of the combination she does, but they sure do look funny - and cute at the same time. I use to go to shopping (before kids) and see toddlers and kids dressed in the craziest and funniest non-matching outfits. I would always tell myself and others, that my child will never be seen in public like that. Yea Right! Once they learn independence there is not reason to pick a battle of matching clothes vs. non-matching. I did draw that line once when she came to me with one dress shoe on and one water shoe on! I was not going to let her go with non-matching shoes.
So now this brings me to a time and place where she is fully capable of being independent, but chooses not to be. Aunika is potty trained, but when is comes to pulling her pants down to sit on the potty she cries for help! Now we have gone to using pants that she can pull on and off easily. I have tried time and time again and still she must have "mommy" help. I know it will take time and I am sure that she will be able to do that step all by her self.
