I Do It All Myself!

Over the past year, one of Hudson's most used phrases is, "No, I do it all my self!".  He has grown so much and has become Mr. Independent with so many things.  Tonight, I told him it was time to put his jammies on.  He got up and ran to his bedroom and I followed.  When we got to his door, he turned around and put his hand out with a stopping gesture and said, "No Mama, I do it all my self!".  He gently pushed me away from the door and closed it on me.  I heard lots of giggles and then silence.  I went and sat on the couch and waited to see what he was up to.  After some time, he cracked the door open and asked me to come help.  He had opened up his dresser drawer.   Picked out the jammies he wanted to wear.  Put the bottoms on but then got tanggled up in the shirt!  Jammie shirts for kids truly are hard to get on!  He actually had it on perfectly correct, he just couldn't get his arms far enough through the sleeves to pull them down past his head.  Right when I reached out to give his shirt a helpful tug, he did it "all his self".  He was SOOOOO incredilbly proud!  He quickly pushed me back out of the door and closed it again.  Once he had both arms through, he came darting out of his room with his chest puffed out to show us what a great job he had done putting his jammies on!
