I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

Makenzie is at "that age." You know, the one where she wants to do everything herself whether she is capable or not? It's really bitter sweet. When you're a sleep-deprived parent of a newborn, you some times wish (in the middle of the night when they're screaming their precious little heads off) for the days when they are more independent to come a little faster. But then as they begin to shove your hand away or say "No Mommy! I help myself!" you begin to wonder where those days went so quickly. Wasn't it just yesterday? She's only 2 for goodness sakes! Sigh....
