Zoe is a big fan of feeding herself – so much so that she’ll often refuse to eat if she’s not the one holding the spoon or fork. I’ve gotten used to these streaks of independence, so I shouldn’t have been surprised this morning when she refused to let me dress her. She clutched on to her little yellow pants for dear life, wiggled away from me whenever I approached and then tried (unsuccessfully) to put her feet through the pant-legs. She finally gave in and let me help, but it took awhile. After this little incident, I’m convinced we’re going to have our hands full as she gets older – and insists on doing more and more things “on her own”!
