Time Machine

I feel like someone put my daughter in a time machine the last 2 months and skipped her ahead to somewhere in the pre-adolescent years. First of all, her moods have looked like a very hormonal young woman lately. If she could storm off and speed away in her car, I'm sure she would. All of a sudden she wants to do EVERYTHING by herself. If I turn on the light in the bathroom, she goes back and turns it off so she can turn it on by herself. Tonight when it was time to potty, she said, "Mommy, can you stand outside so I can have some privacy, please?" What in the world?!!! At least she used manners, but what 2-year-old won't let her mommy in the bathroom because she needs privacy? I obliged because I was about to laugh. We're definitely leaving the baby years behind. Every now and then she still wants to sit on my lap and cuddle, and I'm cherishing those moments.
