Re: independence
my girl also wants to do everything herself now, she doesn't go to PG or CC but also like that...now my new rule is, if it is not dangerous and i can afford to let her do what she wants then i'll let her have her way...save my energy for the bigger battles...
so if she insists on wearing socks with slippers and looking obiang...so be it
everything i do takes 2 times as long cos my girl will always tell me "lexie help mummy" so i always have to think of some way she can 'help'and still keep out of my way....
my girl loooooves to choose her own shoes, so i will use that to my advantage. for eg. if i need to change and get ready (pack bag etc), i'll tell her very enthusiastically "lexie, we're going kai-kai already! hurry go choose and wear yr shoes!!" then she'll run to the shoe rack to pick her shoes and wear them, leaving me time to do other stuff
