By Myself

I can't believe how fast Kylee is growing up. She's starting to do more and more on her own. A few days ago she told me she wanted a snack. Before I could make it to the kitchen she took a banana off the counter, peeled it all on her own, put the peal in the trash, and went on her way. Now whenever she wants a banana, she insists that she "do it by myself".

She has also learned how to open the refrigerator on her own. This new skill can get very annoying. It's not so bad when she decides to help herself to a piece of cheese, but when she climbs up to reach the eggs or pulls out the milk and attempts to pour it by herself - it can be very frustrating. Another frustrating new development is her desire to dress herself. She often insists on putting her clothes on all by herself. Unfortunately she is still pretty far being able to preform this task successfully. She inevitably gets super frustrated and throws a fit.
