Me do! Me do!
Rebecca is growing faster every day. She’s well into the stage of toddler independence, with her cry of “Me? Me? ME!” when we try to do things for her.
But like all children this age, she has moments where that confidence falters, where she still wants to be the little baby that she still is. (“Becca,” she would correct me if she knew I’m calling her a baby.)
Nothing exemplifies this better than her cries of “keh me!” So I made a handy graphic to illustrate this:

Right now we’re in the “pick me up to sit in your lap” whining til I pick her up and then it is “wriggle and reach for the ground or try to slither out of mom’s arms” until I put her down. Repeat indefinitely. that stage.
