Pants On!!!

I always tell Annie that if there is one part of Mimi’s personality I am very proud of it’s that Mimi likes to learn and do things by herself. Sometimes it is a bit frustrating because she is trying to accomplish something which is beyond her motor controls right now, such as changing her own diapers. Also she gets really mad if you try to help her or do the action for her. However I figure that of the numerous things a person can accomplish in this world, weather they fail or succeed as long as they have the wiliness to do it, it will be the first steps to achieving your dreams.

So this video is of Mimi learning to put on her pants for the first time. This is about the last 30 seconds of her 5 minute learning experience with a tantrum in between because we wanted to help her. In the end she learned how to do it and now she always wants to put on her pants herself. I know that learning to put on pants is a far cry from say achieving the Nobel Piece Prize, however if she keeps this up maybe she will learn how to accomplish those great things in the end.
