Natalie is a big girl. She likes feeding herself breakfast, doesn’t like holding your hand when walking any more, and always wants to help you unlock the door (with keys). A sample of what all this independence looks like…
FEED ME!!!
No, that’s not Natalie’s usual bowl. She went for my bowl after she had finished her own breakfast.
Mom, watch me wave these spoons together and make lots of noise!
And, yes, Natalie really took, not one, but two, spoons from me. My original and my replacement. She did make some really fun noises though! Needless to say, after this breakfast mess, she had a tubby. She stayed in there for nearly an hour! I love how she finds joy in everyday things, like breakfast and baths!
