I do it!

Chesson has recently entered the hitting/biting phase. She is going to time out fairly often. Fortunately, she is still in the "I do it myself!" phase. The conversation goes more or less like this:

Mom: Chessy, go to time out.

Chessy: NO!

Mom: Should I take you or would you like to go by yourself?

Chessy: I do it myself!

And then she goes to her room and stays until she is happy again. I'm baffled by the easiness of it. This can't possibly last, but I'll enjoy it while it does.
