Now that princess is officially 18 months old she has decided she REALLY doesn't need mommy anymore. Sad. She even tries to dress herself lately...let me rephrase that, she tries to UNDRESS herself lately. If she doesn't have shoes on she will try to take her pants off, then she will throw a fit because she can't get them back on. Don't try to help her though, this will only make princess throw a bigger fit! I know her grandparents may find it hard to believe that she would throw a fit, if you don't believe me I will gladly let you take her off my hands for awhile so that you can witness these "princess tantrums."
In addition to trying to dress and undress herself, she has also figured out how to use a fork. If you try to hand her a banana that is not cut up and served to princess on a plate with a fork, she will throw one of her wonderful "princess tantrums" for you. TRUST ME I learned this the hard way. The day before I learned about her fork expertise it was acceptable to hand her the banana whole, in fact princess even preferred it this way. How was I supposed to know that she had changed her mind overnight?
Ella also thinks it's really fun to sit on the potty, she even has her own hand-me-down potty. However, I learned the other day that if she decides she wants to sit on the potty, you will be in the bathroom with her for a minimum of 30 minutes while she sits on the potty, then gets off, grins, pulls her pants up (without her diaper on) then pulls her pants back down, sits down on the potty, grins and repeats this process 200 more times. Then try putting her diaper back on her and telling her she is done with the potty for a little while...just when I think she couldn't possibly have another princess tantrum in her to throw, she surprises me yet again with another one. Then she puckers her lip and looks at me like I'm horrible. Like I have said before, I have no idea where she would get this little attitude of hers from...certainly not me.
