"Me Dood It"

"Me Dood It" - translation: I can do it. Or really, I can do it and if you try to touch me or help me in anyway I will scream and fight you every step of the way. This is Molly's most frequent refrain these days. She wants to do everything herself. This includes putting on her clothes, diapering herself, and buckling her carseat. Needless to say, she cannot actually do all these things herself, especially the diapering! Of course, it's all part of her growing independence, which is good and proper, but jeez - what a pain in the neck it can be when we're trying to get something accomplished.

I must apologize generally for the long time between posts. One would think that being unemployed would give me lots of free time to update this blog. Which it does, but the reality is that 1) I'm still quite blue about losing my job and am having trouble staying motivated and focused on any task and 2) Molly and I are having a very antagonistic relationship right now. She's being a challenge all around, but has especially decided to fight me. She refuses to let me change her diaper or brush her teeth or help her with anything, then she will turn around and sweetly let her Daddy accomplish those tasks with her. Sigh. I'm on the outs.

Of course, there's nothing stopping Daddy from updating this blog as well. Ahem...
