B"H Naftali is one smart cookie! He's become a real independant thinker (just like the rest of the family!) - I keep saying that we better watch out- once he starts talking, B"H, he'll let us know exactly what's on his mind! (he does a pretty good job of doing that already, with his limited vocabulary and extensive body language!)
A few cute episodes recently:
- I gave him a date to eat (after checking it of course) but before eating it, he opened it up, and held it up to the light, acting as if he was checking it himself!
- Yesterday, I got him dressed and put his shoes on, and then went to my room. I was putting stockings on, and he quickly brought me my shoes. Then, we went downstairs, and he grabbed my purse and ran to the door- as if to say, "Nu, Mommy, we're all ready, let's go!"
- Whenever I'm baking and he sees me pouring out the batter into the pan, he starts to point and reach for the bowl to lick it out! You should have seen the look on his face when I gave him the bowl from some plain egg whites I had whipped up- the taste was not exactly what he had expected!
- He already wants to get dressed by himself- and he even wants to pick out clothes himself too! Today he went to Azriel Shraga's drawer, took out two shirts (okay, he doesn't quite understand that you can't wear a shirt on your legs) and proceeded to attempt to get dressed!

Oh c'mon- it's so cute when they pretend they're older! Don't you realize how proud you "sound" in this blog post?!
It IS cute, but it can get frustrating at times, too!
Like when you just want to feed/dress/do whatever to them, but they refuse unless its on their terms!
And the "it's just a phase" idea won't work, either, because I don't think your kids are about to stop being independent any time soon! But b"h they're pretty capable kiddies!
Ahem. This is your mother speaking... And you think you (plural) cooperated all the time?! It's pretty wild to see this exchange from the perpetrators themselves!
