Go Roover Girl!

Our morning routine is as follows:  TV and juice on the couch, eat breakfast and then go upstairs to change for the day.  The big kids generally beat me upstairs, and Carter will go to the restroom and get dressed for the day while Ava waits for me to help her.  Today Ava came strolling up to me, and I was stunned!  She was completely dressed for the day!  This means she took off her pull up and pajamas, found a way to pull down the dress she wanted to wear, and then dressed herself.  I'm proud of my Roover Girl!

The outfit of choice:  inside out white sundress and black leggings.  I did turn the dress the right way and added a sweater to complete the ensemble.

I have to admit there are times when I become the parent that I couldn't stand as a preschool teacher.  In my classroom it was expected that each child perform every adaptive skill to the best of their ability every time.  As a Mom I find myself putting on shoes/taking them off kids who are perfectly capable of doing it, but it's just faster to do it myself.  Thanks Ava, for reminding me that you are perfectly capable of doing these things yourself!
