Last week we attended playgroup as usual. Toward the end, I asked Mylie to start helping clean up the toys. I watched from across the room as she started to pick up a few of the items (in her dawdling, pre-schoolish kind of way). She headed for the cupboard with her items, when she got into one of those common territorial toddler tiffs (heheh, how’s that for alliteration?), and the other little girl pushed Mylie out of the way. I almost jumped in, but decided to wait and see what Mylie would do (since she didn’t know I was watching). To my surprise, rather than hitting or pushing back, she turned around and said, rather sternly, “Don’t push me! I’m a princess!” I honestly have no idea where she picked THAT one up from, but it was definitely hard to keep my composure. Needless to say, self-esteem does not appear to be an issue with this kid.
