Natalie is my little mother hen. She has assumed this role in full force over the past couple of weeks. She now views herself as completely in charge of Luke. She wants to coddle him, corral him and smother him. She wants to walk him to class (at Mother's Day out). She wants to help him get in his chair at the dinner table. She wants to help him go potty and cheer him on when he finishes. All this and more. All this that completely and utterly frustrates Luke to no end. Why? Because he is Mr. Independent. His favorite phrase right now is, "I-do-all-my-self!" Everything from putting his clothes on, tying his shoes, going potty, buckling himself in the car seat to eating with forks, cutting up meat and wiping his bo-bo. You are thinking, "Wow, he must be advanced to be able to do all these things", right? No, the truth is he cannot do all of these activities quickly or proficiently, but he is determined that he can. So between Luke 'trying' to do "all-my-self" and Natalie trying to help him, we have a lot of frustration floating around here...
