Myself, please!

In the last two days, Elisha has eaten oatmeal, sweet potatoes and cottage cheese by herself with a spoon out of her bowl. It started when she pointed to the spoon and then signed please. How could I say no to such a polite request? She got the spoon into her mouth amazingly well. She just needed some help getting the food onto the spoon - and that with some convincing. In addition to walking and feeding herself with a spoon, Elisha is exercising her independence in other ways: she shook her head no, then turned and walked away when I asked her to come on Saturday. She's also been trying to take toys away from Micah. What next, little lady?
