On Your Own

Dear Mackenzie,

A few nights ago at bedtime, you climbed onto your bed, took out your hair tie, put it back in the box, turned your llama night light on to the pink setting you prefer and laid down in bed--all by yourself. The next day, you knew to turn off the space heater when you left your room and when I asked you about it, you said matter-of-factly, "I turn it off because nobody in there." You also asked me, "Can I drop off myself to school?" And then yesterday, we went to a party at our friends' house and you were so good about asking to go to the bathroom every time you needed it. You were wearing underwear and you didn't have a single accident. I think maybe the third or fourth time you came over to us and said you needed to go potty, I asked Daddy to take you and he asked me to take you (even though I had taken you all of the other times!). We were still mid-debate when you turned around, walked toward the bathroom and said, "I take myself." Oh my! You're such a big girl now!

Love,
Mom
