Trying to be more grown-up already

Yesterday Draya didn't want any help going down the back stairs. She pushed mommy hand away ever time it was offered. She made it safely... mommy's hand stayed only inches away the whole time.
She also didn't want to hold mommy's hand while walking into the health clinic where the hygenist looked at her teeth an put fluoride on them. (traumatic but necessary... we'll go back in 3 months for another round). Mommy walked on the street side and all was okay.
This morning Draya didn't want to sit in her high-chair, instead she knelt on a kitchen chair at the big table to eat her oatmeal & banana.
At daddy's office Draya saw mommy get water from the cooler. So, she grabbed a little pointy cup too, put it under the tap, filled it and drank some too.
Tonight she watched mommy shred some papers and promptly wanted to shred some too. Needless to say we did NOT let her (we keep the shredder unplugged).

On another note (he he) Draya loves to sing. Her favourite songs are currently "The Wheels on The Bus" & "Jingle Bells"

Right now she is rampaging the Christmas wrap. Mommy is letting her so that she can complete this entry. I'm going to see what I can salvage now... Cheers!
