Shelby believes she's 4. She believes she can do what her 4 year old brother can do plus more. She has no interest in "baby" things. She does not want to play with baby toys. She does not want to sleep in baby beds. She is a 4 year old trapped in a 16 month old's body.
Examples for the skeptics out there...She refuses to drink from a sippy cup even though she can't really drink from a regular cup. She would apparently rather spill all over herself than be seen drinking from a baby item.
She takes off her diaper the moment she pees to alert me to her need to be changed. I tried to explain to her that I'm more of a "couple" pees Mom and it's better for the environment any ways but she just rolled her eyes.
She's always on the phone calling people, or tweeting about her poop...it's all very over my head.
She does not want to be "left out" of any family event...period.
However my all time favorite is that she believes we are having debates about her choices. "Shelby do not climb on that table, Shelby do not take off her outfit, Shelby you cannot go outside ALONE!" her reply..."Mom, Mom, Mom, MOOOOOOOOM, Googoo, blah blah...Dad.
