I can do it myself! By Evelyn Forrester

When I wake up in the morning my mommy gets me dressed. Then we go upstairs to eat breakfast. She tries to carry me up the stairs. I kick and cry as if to say, "Put me down. I can do it myself!"



For breakfast mommy makes me my favorite food, cheesy waffle. She cooks it and cuts it and tries to feed me. I push her hand away. No thanks mom, I can feed myself!



After eating we go in the living room to play. Mommy tries to show me how to sit and play on my new chair. I quickly stand up. I will play with it myself!



I smile at mommy. She smiles back. She looks tired and it is not even nap time. Boy oh boy mom is lucky she has me to help her out. After all, I can do it myself!
