I noticed this behavior at such a young age. Even as an infant she would try new things but give up quickly. Maybe she knew she would learn it eventually, so no rush. Brielle couldn't be any more the opposite. She wants to check everything out and she is starting to watch Amelie's every move. (I'm just glad Brielle can't take her own clothes off since that is what Amelie is always doing)
One thing Amelie is learning right now is to go potty on the toilet by herself. She is very independent so when she does decide to learn something new, she wants to do it all by herself. She tells me not to touch her or help her. She gets her step stool and pushes herself onto the toilet all by herself. She then puts her hands over her mouth with great excitement, so I join her and we get excited together. It's fun.
Parenting is most challenging because we are dealing with simple but yet complex little people. They know what they want, but they don't always know why. I feel like I want to know why she does things, but she can't tell me. She tries, but she doesn't grasp the explanation.
Our biggest challenge right now is that she refuses to stay dressed at bed time. She pees the bed, she is cold, and tonight she woke up knowing she had to pee, but it was too late, so she squatted on the floor and peed. She was screaming and crying so Brad ran in and here she was popping a squat. Then, we found her pajamas and her diaper stuffed in her toy box...WHAT???
WHY???
Well, Nana Pam is making her some pajamas tomorrow with a zipper on the back. That's the only thing we can think of right now. Hopefully it will work.
Until tomorrow my little naked engine. You CAN do it :)
