My daughter, being the independent child that she was (and still is) use to say...
"I want to do it my own self. "

At 5:03 AM, Molly said...: My nephew used to say almost the same phrase.

Independence is a wonderful attribute and one of the important goals of parenting. What a delightful child she must have been. Your daughter, our team member, is certainly a conscientious adult.
At 1:23 PM, gawilli said...: Yep. I still have a hard time with it sometimes, though. But it's much better that way.
At 3:26 PM, Swampwitch said...: "Me do it myself."
and
"Yet me do it."

were two of my favorites for my girls.
At 5:06 PM, Cazzie!!! said...: PMSL!! My girls say it all the time, "By my own self Mum!!" Ha, I love it
At 1:10 PM, Tink said...: A friend of the family has a little girl that loudly proclaims, "You do it myself!" They can never figure out what she means.
