"All By Myself"

This seems to be our new favorite phrase around here.  Let me help you in to your chair, "Daddy, all by myself!"  Let me help you wash your hands, "By myself!"  Let's get your shoes on, "I do it by myself."  We spend so much time wanting them to be independent and then, sadly, they are.  Of course don't be fooled; there are somethings they can't do by themselves.  I went to check on Arianna the other day after she got her self on the potty to do #2.  As I head toward the bathroom door she comes skipping around the corner.  Did you go?  "Yes, Daddy."  Who wiped you? "All by myself, Daddy."  Clean up. ... Aisle 4!
