"Do it me"

The time has come. Owen's favorite new phrase is "Do it me!" which means "Let me do it!". He wants to do EVERYTHING on his own. We try to stop him from climbing into his high chair, but there's no stopping him (just waiting for him to bonk his head on the floor or table one day). He gets into his car seat on his own now and buckles the straps. He carries his own bag to school. He likes to feed himself most things (although he still gets upset when he makes a mess - especially if something gets on his hands). He's also decided this week that he likes to hold Ella. He tried to pick her up out of her rocking seat the other day. Luckily I noticed in time. :) I let him hold her sitting in the recliner and he enjoyed that. Sister wasnt so happy about it, but it was really cute. Later on, he said "hold me seee soo" so I let him hold her again. He's been very interested in her this week and it's so much fun to watch him interact with her. He brings her toys (and usually puts them on her face) and covers her up with blankets, etc. It's wonderful. :)
