As the girls enter their 2's they are increasingly becoming more independent (or so they think) they want to do things them self. It is very cute to see them try to buckle their highchair belt themselves and they get very upset if you try to intervene or provide assistance. Most of the time this is very cute although time consuming but as a mother when I see them struggle with it and start to get frustrated I want to jump in to help. Doing so just makes them more upset. Also when we are trying to get out the door and they want to put their shoes on by themselves. this will take much longer but I know if I help a full out, on the floor, fit is going to follow. the word they use to let you know that they want to do it them self is simply 'self'.
We have also learned that when we say "do you want this" for a number of items it can be interpreted as the name of that item is 'this'. Later in the day when they are calling for 'this' there is no way to tell what 'this' it is. Lesson learned use names of items i.e. "do you want this, the magna-doodle, or this, the crayon to color with?
