Celebrating Independence

{Photo courtesy of Independence Day 2010}

For several months now Dallen has become more and more independent with each passing day. Everything is "myself" and I am not allowed to help him. He loves to help me carry stuff, walk alone, push his own stroller, help with the chores, drink from big boy cups, and so much more. Dallen can totally communicate to me with words what he wants, needs and dislikes!! I feel like (and he thinks) he is all grown up and although it scares me, I am so proud of him and the little man he is turning into.
