I think G might be on a quest to be named Most Independent 3.5 Year Old Of The Year.
"Mommy, let ME do it by myself." is something I hear no less than 20 times a day :)
I try to accommodate when I can, but I do have to break out the occasional "Not now G, I'm in a hurry."...ok it might be a little more than occasionally...:)
A few days ago while I was giving her a bath, she experienced a rare break in this quest for independence (J and C were starting a movie that she didn't want to miss) so she says to me:
"Mommy, can you have a hurry to go ahead and wash me off." (She normally insists on washing herself.)
Not sure why, but that tickled me. I enjoy these little glimpses into they way my kids perceive grown-up speak. I guess the phrase "IN a hurry" doesn't make much sense to her since I'm not visibly/physically IN anything when I say it.
she's really right. And funny as always!
