We have reached a new and tricky phase with our cute little toddler. She INSISTS on doing EVERYTHING by herself- even those tasks she can't do and won't be able to do for months or years. The biggest problem arises with tasks that are dangerous because let me tell you: this girl can throw a tantrum if she doesn't get her way!
One battle I choose not to participate in centers around mealtime:
 |
| Delia refuses to eat unless she has her own utensil. (Notice the upside-down usage of her tool) (She's chowing down on our own version of "hot cereal"- flax meal, applesauce, cinnamon, yams, and raisins) |
 |
| Of course she isn't really delivering the goods at a fast enough rate, so she must employ a more efficient device. |
 |
| THERE'S THE GOOD STUFF! |
 |
| Not exactly the cleanest or most effective way to eat, but a happy and fed baby is the ultimate goal, right? |

My goodness, I never can't get over how incredibly beautiful she is!! And really, do they have to grow up so fast?! I actually think she does a pretty good job by the way! ;)
Cute Delia! She reminds me so much of Hyrum in the pictures. Sometimes it is SO painful to step back and let the messes happen, but it looks like you are doing it well :-).
