My DD is 25 months and wants to do everything by herself. "All by myself" she says or "No help!" when it comes to getting in the bath or even in her carseat (of course I do the buckling)! She gets so proud of all her accomplishments. My little girl is growing up! Anyone elses LO not wanting Mommy to help as much?

DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
Oh yes!
"No, Mama, I do it," or "I wanna do it," are very common phrases around here.
This is the subject of many tantrums and tears in our house! I'm glad I rarely have to be anywhere at a specific time, because DD definitely prefers to do things by herself.
