Eli wants to do everything by himself. I mean EVERYTHING. Sure, we want him to be a big boy and get his socks on himself, brush his teeth himself and get his shoes on before we walk out the door. But it gets a bit harder when he wants to open his car door himself (impossible, it's too heavy), buckle his own car seat (tricky maneuvers) and stir-fry bok choy in a wok splattering hot oil (obviously).
At the end of today -- a long day of "I'll do it all by myself!" -- I put him in his crib and sang him some songs. He asked for "Wheels on the Bus" and I told him I would sing him a few verses. After 3 verses, I told him goodnight.
Eli rolled over and patted my arm, "I'll sing the rest of it all by myself."
