All by Myself

The phrase "I want to do it all by myself" is ringing in my ears after spending ANY length of time with my son these days. And man is he determined to have it his way. I can't do anything for him... He opens all the doors, climbs into his carseat and buckles all but the bottom latch, gets in and out of the bath, picks out any plate or utensil he uses, empties the dishwasher, picks out and puts on all clothing -socks-and shoes, reads his own books (well, reads is a stretch)... You get the picture. This sounds wonderful except he is not ABLE to do all of these things by himself!! Which makes for a very frustrated child and exhausted mother :).
I do think it is wonderful to watch him try, but Al- know when to hold 'em/know when to fold 'em.
