Independence

There are some days {more and more it seems!} that Ali does not want any of my help. She is becoming so independent! It's nice when I'm chasing Merilyn all over, but on the other hand... she's growing up so fast! On this day she wanted to make her own sandwich and wanted to do it all by herself. "I don't need you, Mommy. I'm going to do everything." Although, after she thought about it for a minute, she asked, "Could you get me the bread, the mustard, the cheese, the turkey, a knife... and then I don't need you."
