I often hear her small voice ask me politely, “Can you help me?”. She needs a tissue for her nose, she needs to charge her iPad or she needs some water to drink. 💕 But lately it’s become more “I want to do it myself.” She’s getting so independent. I expected it, but still I don’t feel ready! Being independent equals to picking her own clothing choices, making many many decisions in her day, shall we walk or scoot, strawberries or pears, and holding her own when it comes to taking her turn with the TV. 😂 Today, she went to the toilet, and she put on her own PJs, including her pull-ups too. Her needs are to feel safe to decide and be in control, and being able to do it herself is really important to her, to all our kids. It means a smoother bedtime routine for all. 🥳 Growing up so quickly, I’m going to ask her for squishes and squeeze out as many hugs as I can. ❤️ #growinguptoofast #irisgreyloong #littlestloong #respectfulparenting #gentleparenting #consciousparenting #parenting #purposefulparenting #proudmama #bedtimeroutine https://www.instagram.com/p/CSebdvNF3sM/?utm_medium=tumblr
