Around the age of 2 to 3, our kids have gone through a independence phase in which they want to do EVERYTHING by themselves. From getting themselves dressed, to buckling themselves into their car seats. Generally speaking, this is looked at as a welcome change because the kids can start doing things on their own and no longer need our help doing things. For instance, now that Princess K can dress herself in the morning, it saves a lot of my time in the morning that I can get Super Michael's lunch ready, or get the backpacks ready for school. However, every so often, if I don't check her, Princess K will put things on backwards, or shoes on the wrong feet and I won't notice this until we are walking up to Super Michael's school. I'll have to sit her down, change out shoes and then we are on our merry way again.
Today, Princess K discovered Super Michael's digital camera that he got for Christmas a couple of years back and she figured out how to take pictures by herself. I downloaded all of the pictures tonight because I was curious what she took pictures of. There were tons of pictures of her feet, my feet, the floor, my leg while I'm sitting on the couch, and even my backside while she was following me around the house.

Maybe she'll grow up to be some new age photographer or something!
What kind of "Me Do!' things have your kids done? Do they drive you crazy, or do you just deal with them as part of the whole growing up thing?
