Self Sufficiency

This has been a long time coming & I think I like it. I was a bit resistant to it at times, but really, it has the potential to be fabulous.

It started with getting his own bowl for fishy crackers {read spilling the entire package while the bowl remains empty}, proceeded to choosing his own fruit snacks {the "treats" were moved to higher shelves}, progressed to supplying his own cup & getting his own water from the fridge {this is where the resistance came in} & now climbing shelves to find his most desirable flavored mini marshmallows.

And while, this does mean he eats more of those flavored mini marshmallows than I'd like on occasion, it also means, he can get his own diaper, find his own dog & wipe up the water he just spilled from the fridge.

Self-sufficiency, please visit us at those middle-of-the-night wake-ups. And soon. I'm tired.
