The things you do..

My little girl is growing up, and sooo fast... I don't like it. She is already exerting her independence in most things she does - she wants to eat by herself (and feed us too!), dress herself, comb her hair. She likes to wear her pants by herself, never mind that she has one on already and never mind if she can manage to get only one leg on.
Recently, though, she has taken an aversion to clothes - doesn't want to wear anything... except her shoes (she can wear them all day!) or Papa's socks (on hands and feet). So a bare bottomed baby toddling about in her shoes and a vest is a common sight in the house. Only yesterday, as I was trying to put a diaper on her and had managed to slide half of it under her bum, she lifted herself upand pulled it out from beneath her in one smooth movement!
I am just glad she stays in my lap for as long as I want to kiss and cuddle with her and doesn't wriggle out yet, its also beautiful to hear her say new words everyday and gettingc amazed by how much she already understands (I told her to get me a cushion and she did! Not one, all!)....K, now couldn't you just be a doll and stay my baby forever...
