"All By Myself"

Recently, Elyse has been wanting to do everything on her own (which I should appreciate right now, but sometimes is just too much). One such thing that I appreciate is when she goes potty. She now successfully takes her pants and undies on and off and climbs up onto the adult potty by herself and does the entire bathroom routine without us. Today, however, brought a twist. After going potty she decided she did not want to put her jeans back on. Therefore, she proceeded to do something else she wants to do on her own, pick her clothes out and get dressed. So she went into her pajama drawer and picked out her summer pajama pants that don't quite fit her (look like leggings now). Plus as you can see, she puts them on inside out. (At least she color coordinates well.) The picture was taken right after her running downstairs saying, "Mama, look, new pants and no socks" :) Needless to say, I don't think we are going out in public the rest of the day. She brings so much joy and smiles to my life.

And so does this happy boy.
