Today outside in the backyard, reminded me of the things I see on Chantel's report card or said by her teacher at school. "Doesn't work well independently." How can that be, when at home, in our back yard, Chantel gets out her toys and puts them away by herself. She also filled the wheelbarrow and didn't even wait for me to help her empty it. As I looked down our back yard, I couldn't believe what I saw. Chantel standing at the edge of the woods dumping the adult-sized wheelbarrow, all by herself.
Her response, when I was surprised she could do it herself. "I am six now!" That must be it, the rite of passage happens at 6. She seems to be able to do almost anything she wants to now!
I wish I had a picture to take to her I.S.T. meeting on Tuesday, 3/24/09 at 3:30 p.m. Yes, she can work well independently; I think it depends what you want her to do. Right now, it's me needing to get her cup as she takes a bath all by herself, age 6! :-)
