Addison's new, slightly psychotic phase is to do EVERYTHING all by herself. She must always be in control, or everybody pays. She has to get in the car by herself, climb into her car seat herself. If she is touched or assisted in anyway the whole process must start again. She only has her diaper changed on her terms-where ever she chooses to lay down and only when she is ready. Bath time, bedtime, basically anytime are no different-she must be allowed to choose and act for herself or she gets a "runny nose" which is a whole other story. Anytime she gets even remotely upset her nose must be wiped, or she walks around screaming "I have a runny nose" repeated at increasing decibels until it is wiped. I am not sure who is crazier, her or the people that cater to this nonsense.

I bet there was a time when you wished she were more independent and could do more by herself. Well, it serves you right! Just teasing. Look on the bright side -- before it's all over, I bet you'll learn to be even more patient.
There is a Mercer Mayer book titled 'All by Myself" that was somewhat of a comfort to me when my kids went through this blasted phase...
