I recently read an article about a toddler's independence and how keeping up with what they can do and to continually raise the bar, with help with their confidence and security. Well I decided to enforcing a few things with Natalie, and so far, so good. Her toughest is going potty by herself. She can do it, she just wants someone to go with her always. We will work on that one!
This morning I was putting laundry away and when I went upstairs to put hers away, I asked her to come help me tidy up her room. She is a helper, so she quickly jumped up and was so excited for her chore. It wasn' a mess, just some toys on the floor and her bed needed made. As I was putting her clothes away, I let her do her thing. She did it all, and all by herself. As we walked out of her room she turned to me and said doesn't it look perfect? I told her it was perfect and how proud I am of her...what is funny about this is her bed. It took everything for me to not fix it, so instead I had her pose with her self cleaned bedroom. She is so proud!
