Little Fish Would Like To Let You Know

"I did get all my own clothes on today all by myself. And, and, I did be careful and take my clothes off all by myself too! Do you know, I can dress myself now? "

Tia would like to know why Little Fish felt the need to scream for ten minutes that "My button is done up I not managing oh OH OH my button is not undone!" When she eventually stopped squawking I suggested she undid the button. Which took her 30 seconds, after which the shirt was off. But how, why, could she not have joined the dots herself?

Still, a child who can strip herself (mostly), dress herself (mostly), then go to bed, lie down, and go to sleep within minutes is much appreciated. And Mog still gets to have a good giggle over LF's screeches, so I suppose we're all winners really.

  9. Well done Little Fish!

    Kitty is still quite capable of going to pieces over a done up button too... Perhaps joining the dots has less to do with it than being 5 and having a low frustration threshold??
