When I came downstairs after showering I saw this Lol. She poured her own cereal & milk! She was crying at first though because she poured so much milk she couldn't see her cereal :) so I poured the excess milk into that plate. I told her how proud I was of her for doing it on her own lol.  I honestly was proud of her because Addison rarely does things on her own even though she is capable of doing so much on her own.  She usually asks me to put on her shoes, help her go to the bathroom, get her dressed, and the list goes on.  She can do all those things on her own.  Lately, when she whines for help (that's how she asks for help - usually in an impatient, whiny voice like it's an emergency), I don't come to her rescue right away. As uncomfortable as it is to listen to her "suffering", I have found that if I don't come "rescue" her right away she'll do it on her own!
