Determination




This morning, I got Rebecca mostly dressed (she still needed her sweater) and she asked, "Shoes?" I told her we would get them in a minute. I turned around and did something else. When I looked back at her, I realized that Rebecca had decided to take the shoe matter into her own hands and put them on herself. And although they weren't the shoes I was going to pick to match her ensemble, she was quite conscientously putting these shoes on herself, after she had picked them from her shoe rack. For 15 solid minutes, she attempted to put her shoes on herself and then to fasten the Velcro mary jane strap. And she succeeded! She was quite pleased with herself.
