Poor Little Poster child! If only someone had left the box open?!?!
Anna woke up way too early on Saturday morning for mommy.Anna and I were lucky I hadn't cleaned up all the way from a party the night before...
I got more sleep, she got to feast on chips dipped in cool whip!
Not a healthy breakfast!
SELF CLEANING...
.Not quite.! She doesn't actually change the diaper.
I'm still trying to figure out how to teach her that one!!
SELF SEDATION.....
I have no clue where she found this gem! What was the magic? Sugar or Red Dye #40??
SELF ENTERTAINMENT:
She can spend a whole hour just reading books. I don't even do that!READY TO STEP OUT INTO THE WORLD???
Not quite!
I'm glad she's still my little girl!And yes....they are sleeping!

Julie, So cute. Those skills will all come in handy when "baby" arrives. Mom helps those who help themselves.
I agree with the growing up thing!! doesnt it all fly by too fast?!?!!? I love the pictures! I also love that my children are also napping and that is why I can blog, I have to make sure the fort is secure before I go up in the "office" and blog... otherwise, it is not pretty!!! And most the time, I dont pay attention to anything, so the screams, or the mom, mom, mom, is lost... and I come down to a mess, or a sad child!
Self reliance can be so much fun but sure is messy. All I ever hear from Eliza is "I do it myself." She never wants my help with anything and I have to remember to let her do it herself even though I know it will end up a mess. But its also so much fin to see them learning and gaining more and more skills. she is so cute and I love the pig tails!
Very cute, she is such a smart little girl. oh yes by the way Mike did pick up the tab or we wouldn't have tried so hard to go. It was a great chance to have fun and try a place we might have not gone to other wise. ;)
She is DARLING!! What a cutie :) I had to click on that first picture to figure out what in the world she was eating! My kids won't touch an avacado with a 10 foot pole!!
Gotta love them being self sufficient. I sure don't love the mess. My husband is watching the kids so I am sneaking in blog time. :)
I employ many of those same 'self reliance' techniques in my children. She's a doll!
Anna is soooo cute...just like her Mommie was and still is!!! Keep up the good work Mom, you're bringing up self-reliant kids just like yourself. You're a great photographer too!! Love, MOM
Holy Avacado! I love your blog. Everytime there is a new post it's like finding a long lost dollar in my pocket.
Too funny, Julie. I love avacado mess. I didn't know what it was at first. It looked like something much worse. It's always nice to have them a little more independant, but it has its costs.
Love the sign you created for the computer. I should probably limit ny computer use too.
Now how do your kids develop such confident self-help skills? I've never laughed so hard on the computer until I saw Anna's little picture holding up the box of Joe's Oh's!
What a good post. That IS a well behaved child you have!
I'm going to go check on mine now!
