I can do it by myself…

…is one of Leilani’s favorite phrases.

I bet you were hoping the potty talk days were over :-) but no such luck:

Today on our way to the toilet she said “I can do it by myself…” and really did it. Pulled the stepping stool next to the toilet, put the small seat on, undressed, climbed up (that part was the scariest), and when she was finished did most of the wiping (with 2 yards of toilet paper). I helped her to dress though.

The best part might’ve been that she didn’t stay on the toilet and request us to read book after book. She got up immediately.

I wish every time she asserts her independence would be that pleasant…
