One of the best photos I’ve ever taken. And it was just a last minute shot.

“I Do it” – My Son Wants to Do EVERYTHING

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 02:28:03 +0000

“I do it. I do it. I. DO. IT!!!” It is the phrase we have come to know and love in our household recently. Freddie is getting very independent and wants to help or do everything. It is great. Cyndi and I love seeing him try new things and grow. It is awesome to see your child develop and accomplish things, no matter how small or how large. However, this also means we have had to adjust our timelines and schedules to accommodate for potentially 30 minutes of added “I DO IT” time.

Things Freddie is getting into and wanting to do himself include:

zippers
buttons
car seat straps
pushing the grocery cart
swiping groceries over the checkout counter
paying for the groceries with mommy and daddy’s debit card
and much more…

This requires a tremendous amount of patience at times. You want your child to grow and do things on their own. However, when you are trying to get to work or school on time you just want to do it for them. But just when you think you can “help out” you get a “NOOO!! I DO IT!” And then we start over again. So it is a balance between letting him do it himself and “helping” him out. I’m just waiting to see what he wants to try next. Maybe it will be mowing the lawn??
