independence.

hollis is a pretty independent kid - he gets frustrated if we try to do something for him that he knows how to do himself. i have to remind myself to be patient and let him work through it even if i could do it way faster. i think this, more than almost anything else, is the great lesson to me as a parent.

anyway. there are times when hollis doesn't know how to do something or doesn't want to try. jb and i try to encourage him to do it himself (the biggest one lately is not wanting to pick up his own food - don't ask me where this comes from). his reply is "i can't know how to". i love it.
